How to make a Gaussian splat from photos or a video in a browser

Take 20 or more photos all round one object, or a video circling it, with the camera app. Open 0xr.space, press Open and choose all the photos, or the one video. On a phone or a computer, All photos → 3D splat starts by itself and builds a Gaussian splat in a few minutes, saved to your library under a name such as Splat 20 Oct 14:05. Up to 150 photos are read.

Your browser does not need WebGPU, but splat builds are not always available. When they are not, the card says The 3D builder is not taking builds right now. Try again in a while., and its menu still offers Photo → 3D, which builds from one photo and guesses the far side. Each device and network gets 6 splat builds a day. On a Meta Quest, many photos or a video go to Photo → 3D by default and the splat waits on the menu. It is not available in every country.

Questions

What happens to my photos or video?

See the privacy page at https://0xr.space/privacy/ for what the camera features send and keep.

How long does it take?

A few minutes, when splat builds are available. The card names each step as it goes.

Why does it say the 3D builder is not taking builds?

Splat builds are switched off for now, or busy. Tap the card and choose Photo → 3D for a model from one photo, or try the splat again later.

Is there a daily limit?

Yes, 6 splat builds a day for each device and network. When they are spent the card says That is all the 3D builds for today. Try again tomorrow.

What if I open fewer than 20 photos?

Too few for a splat. They go to Photo → 3D, which builds a model from the best one.
