3DGaussianSplat reconstruction using only 92x 3D180 Fisheye images. This is an encouraging novel approach which I believe has the potential for better and faster outcomes since a 180degree FOV can deliver more image overlap, and stereoscopy lends itself beautifully for depth reconstruction. Whilst not many tools will deal with with fisheye lens intrinsics at this extreme focal length and associated distortion, there is some that do, and now that some tools support nVidia's 3DGUT (Gaussian Unscented Transform) there is a new pathway.
This wouldn't have been possible without the fabulous work of "MrNERF" Janusch Patas, please do support his repository on GitHub /LichtFeld-Studio , and the help and clever ideas from Charlie Pepper Kemp, thank you! More work needs to be done, but this is a step forward in the right direction 😉

Here's a link to an interesting interview by Viewpoints with Michael Rubloff, founder of RadienceFields.com
TL;DR:
"Every digital product today pretends reality is flat.
For 40 years, we've forced the complexity of the 3D world onto rectangular screens. This worked well enough for film and web content, but it created structural gaps that are now barriers to progress.
Where The Opportunities Are
Geospatial companies, architecture firms, and construction operations already pay significant money for 3D data through LiDAR scans, photogrammetry, and drone surveys.
The value proposition is immediate: better spatial data, lower cost per capture, faster turnaround from field work to usable models.
Education and training applications create repeatable value.
The Ultimate Prize: Gaussian Splatting as the Foundation for Physical AI"

Gaussian splatting solved 3D capture at scale. Michael Rubloff explains the technology, NeRFs, the SIGGRAPH moment, and where founders should focus in spatial infrastructure.

Here's a quick taste what a 3DGS using Gaussian Unscented Transform looks like:
Why is this exciting? Because 3DGUT enables the use of distorted cameras, such as extreme wide angle, and secondary Rays, thus improving reflections, refractions and overall quality.
Have a look at this example which was created of only 278x 18mm jpg images downscaled to only 1732x1155 pixels.
Make sure you check out all the dynamic reflections in the shed window, door glass etc!
Imagine what the result could look like if processing the original 33MP raw images!
Locally processed with RS2 and LichtFeld. These guys are amazing ;-)

RAM bam, thank you m'aam! Brace yourself for memory storage prices! And here I was dreaming ideally with 3DGaussian Splatting, I'd have 96GB NVME RAM and 24GB on the GPU.. [keep dreaming..]

Global memory shortage 2026 could raise prices for camera media, SSDs and post-production hardware, impacting filmmaking workflows.

Research never stops in 3DGS, this is such an exciting area with so much going on everywhere.
Testing new pipelines for reconstruction, and if one doesn’t work, the data doesn’t get wasted 😉

Creating an engaging live stream is key to your keynote, especially where men’s mental health is on the agenda: dynamic Ai automated framing mixed with intimate tight shot, custom graphics and presentation overlay, all in a small single operator package, with great outcomes.

The Sydney Contemporary 2025 Art Fair was another feast for the senses.
Here is a selection of 5 outstanding sculptural works reproduced as 3D Digital Twins, enabling you to immersively explore all aspects of the installations.
These digital assets can also lend themselves further for 3D viewing experiences on either 3D 'holographic' screens, or in VR headsets. It is also possible to AR those into the local environment.
Please check the interactive info button for further details on exhibiting gallery / artist.
