Comment ‘3D’ to get the gaussian splatting deep dive. Because holy crap! Apple just beat Google to the punch — 3D Gaussian splatting is coming to Apple Maps. These 3D scenes are made from oblique aerial imagery. But unlike blobby photogrammetry — no more broccoli trees, no more melted powerlines — ground level detail that actually holds up. Here’s hoping Google Maps/Earth follows suit soon — they have a significantly larger corpus of sensor data to work with. Time to splat the world!
