3DGS of Video Game Clip

Here we have the result of a pretty boiler plate example of open-source gaussian splat scene generation. This was rendered via RealityScan for the sparse point cloud mapping and image extraction, then onto LichtFeld Studio for splat generation. I use a combination of a thread ripper cpu and an RTX 5070ti so this only took around 3 minutes to compute.

I wanted this experiment to utilise datasets that are not of pristine origin. So many spats source from existing point cloud datasets and newer high resolution cameras rigs or drones. The software required to generate these have become much more flexible in what can be ingested and I was curious if incomplete or unreal datasets could make something interesting.

Terminal OS

09/08/2025

It has been a while since I made a one-day project. Always enjoyed the idea of a web based ‘terminal’ that mimics a SSH connection or a headless CLI. I could easily expose a MySQL demo user and designate a sandbox portion of my VM – but making it a single HTML is much more fun (and, you know, safe).

Adding a few functions that pull from some public APIs such as a weather search and some selected news headlines via RSS. Adding the ability to query the WordPress CMS so you can search Pages/Posts, all without requiring its REST API. I could always add some persistence with some PHP sessions or even just the browsers localStorage, but I prefer this to be as instanced and lightweight as possible. This is all contained within a single HTML file (<20kb).

Attempt to create a new 3DGS Viewer

Custom 3DGS viewer

This is my attempt to create a 3DGS viewer of my own. It is largely a fork of the Three.js libraries with some tuning to help (attempt) to alter vertices in realtime. This cannot be done with some more popular viewers such as the wonderful one provided by SuperSplat. They encode the .ply file into a Base64 image and the rest of the code is minified so forget about it. There is room to make entirely realtime 3DGS editor but this will take some time.

Engram

Following from my research into digital entropy, I stumbled across the papers of Trinity professor Thomas Ryan and his work on the ‘engram’.

With the concept of the Engram, I generally resist the comparison of the human brain to a computer, used as analogues of one another. However, the notion of the engram supports some correlations, suggesting that ‘space’ and ‘encoding’ are analogous to bits and bytes.
