3D Gaussian Splatting Driving Simulator! You know those YouTube walking tours? I think this could become a similar trend like driving around in a splat or taking your driver's license test in a 3DGS simulator.

@janusch_patas interesting! I've been thinking about training a GS with all the camera feeds from a Model Y. It is basically a moving rig with synchronized 6 cameras. This should allow camera pose with prior assumptions of fixed camera offsets should provide VR headset level positional

@lllDPGlll Yeah, you just need all poses and manage somehow to train such a big splat.

@janusch_patas Incredible usecase!

@ronjart You just need to scan all streets.

@janusch_patas He's driving too fast, he's not looking in his mirrors... and he's not using his indicators.

@moocow667 Easier to drive on empty streets.

@janusch_patas Bro didn't check his terminator mirrors once 💀

@janusch_patas very cool

@janusch_patas This is a Scaner studio simulator

@ayo_ham What?

@janusch_patas Yes please! I will both drive to record it and sim race it after. Lets get our highways online!

@LAVAwithanS We can build a new playground for car tuners!

@janusch_patas Whatever the criminals are using to get their unnamed licenses needs upgraded for quality training

@janusch_patas Thank you for sharing my works.

@janusch_patas Google should have enough data to turn google maps entirely GS based...maybe complement with drone footage.

@janusch_patas How would you handle other vehicles in the image data?

@janusch_patas How do you manage collisions with the surrounding elements? Gaussian Splats aren't true geometries.

@janusch_patas This is a cool asf application

@janusch_patas As usual… no animation… where are the other cars? In fact where is any dynamism? I’m waling through a painting…

@janusch_patas wow but 4d splats like trafic lights working or first steps as solo drive?

@janusch_patas I’m surprised simulation isn’t widely used for driver training even at a younger age prior to learners permits.

@janusch_patas Now make the car jump off a ramp or something

@janusch_patas I’d love to try it with a VR headset

@janusch_patas Brilliant use of splats!

@janusch_patas No, we should not use this for driver's license tests 😂

@janusch_patas I get the idea, but ngl that looks like a really boring game

@janusch_patas You need underlying physics, or splat collisions for driver feedback. If they're in, this would be fantastic.

@janusch_patas OMFG THIS FOR VR GOING TO BE HUGE
