A buggy + slow AR gaussian splat renderer for iOS + Metal. Based on several existing projects:
- Original Gaussian Splatting Repo
- Unity Gaussian Splatting
- WebGL Gaussian Splats
- WebGPU Gaussian Splatting from cvlab-epfl
- MrNeRF gaussian splatting cuda
Uses Satin + Forge for AR + 3d viewer ( by @rezaali )
Only tested on an iPhone 14 Pro. Older phones will probably struggle. You can adjust the render resolution when loading a model by increasing the rendererDownsample to 4x or more on the 'SplatModelInfo' struct.
🔹 NOTE: PLY models use git LFS for file storage. You may need to run git lfs pull if PLYs are missing
- Does not use a tile based renderer, just basic quad rasterization
- Spherical harmonics are not supported
- Sorting is done on main thread with std::sort on CPU
- fix pan / drag / rotate gesture handling for moving the model - now it's broken
- snap models to AR planes
- GPU sorting
- detect centroids and model extents on load rather than hand specifying

There are several blog posts on how to train your own models from a set of images. The output PLY model is what you want to keep ( e.g. 'iteration_30000/point_cloud.ply' ) The included models were trained on google colab with an A100 GPU.
Includes two models from the NeRF synthetic blender dataset
