Fun Fact
Fuzzy math: Gaussian splatting uses millions of mathematical ellipsoids—essentially blurry 3D eggs—to build razor-sharp virtual worlds.
Glossary
gaussian splatting (noun)
A computer graphics technique used to render three-dimensional scenes from a set of images. Bernhard Kerbl and his team introduced this real-time rendering method at the SIGGRAPH 2023 conference.
