Summary:
- The article discusses the addition of 3D Gaussian Splats to the glTF (GL Transmission Format) asset standard, which is a widely used format for 3D models and scenes.
- Gaussian Splats are a way to represent complex 3D shapes, such as trees or vegetation, in a more efficient and realistic way, without the need for detailed geometry.
- This update to the glTF standard is a collaboration between the Khronos Group, the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC), and other geospatial industry leaders, aiming to improve the representation of 3D geospatial data in various applications.
