Abound 3D for real-time capture

Gaussian Splatting for vivid 3D scenes

Abound turns photo captures into Gaussian splat assets that preserve visual detail for fast, immersive scene viewing across web, AR, VR, and production workflows.

Built for real-time scene capture

Photos in
Capture from image coverage

Start with overlapping images of a scene, object, set, or environment.

Splats out
Real-time visual detail

Use splat output when the viewing experience matters more than mesh editing.

Web review
Share before handoff

Let collaborators inspect spatial context in the browser before exporting files.

How it works

1

Capture the scene

Photograph the subject with enough viewpoint coverage for the splat workflow to reconstruct visual detail.

2

Process into splats

Create a Gaussian splat asset in Abound and keep it organized alongside scans, folders, posts, and shared links.

3

View, share, or export

Open the capture in the browser, share it for review, or export splat data for real-time visualization experiments.

Use cases

Scene capture

Capture rooms, sets, products, and environments as rich splat-based 3D scenes from ordinary photo sets.

Real-time visualization

Share lightweight interactive splats with stakeholders who need to inspect spatial context without a heavy desktop pipeline.

Production exports

Export Gaussian splat formats for downstream visualization, experimentation, and real-time 3D workflows.

Where Gaussian splats fit

Photoreal viewing

Use splats when stakeholders need to understand captured appearance, lighting, materials, and spatial context quickly.

Browser-first review

Keep the asset inspectable through a web viewer instead of forcing every reviewer into a specialist 3D package.

Scene context

Capture rooms, displays, sets, and environments where texture and viewpoint coverage carry the value of the scan.

Export flexibility

Move splat-ready assets into downstream tools when a project needs custom visualization, rendering, or experimentation.

Outcomes

Photoreal scene detail
Fast interactive viewing
Browser-based review
Shareable 3D captures
Splat-ready exports

Questions teams ask

What is Gaussian splatting?

Gaussian splatting is a 3D scene representation that renders captured visual detail with many soft points, or splats, for fast real-time viewing.

When should I use Gaussian Splatting instead of Photo Scan?

Use Gaussian Splatting when photoreal scene viewing and spatial context matter most. Use Photo Scan when you need a more traditional textured 3D model workflow.

What can I capture as a Gaussian splat?

Gaussian splatting works best for photo-covered scenes, rooms, objects, sets, and environments where visual detail and viewpoint coverage are important.

Can I share Gaussian splats with people who do not have a 3D tool installed?

Yes. Abound can keep splat captures in a cloud library so collaborators can inspect them through a browser link before any file handoff is needed.
