What is 3D Gaussian Splatting?

3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) is an AI-powered scene reconstruction technique that creates photorealistic 3D representations of real-world environments from a series of overlapping images. Instead of generating traditional polygon meshes, it uses millions of Gaussian primitives to accurately represent colour, geometry, and lighting, enabling immersive visualisation and digital twin creation.
