This week, Iโm sharing a 3D scan of street art in Venice Beach, Los Angeles.
What makes this capture compelling isn't just the visual fidelityโitโs the fact that this environment is inherently ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ต๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐น. In a place as vibrant and evolving as Venice Beach, walls are painted over, textures weather, and the urban landscape shifts almost daily.
While photos capture a surface and videos capture a fixed path, 3D Gaussian Splatting preserves the ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ฝ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ฎ๐น ๐๐ผ๐น๐๐บ๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ฐ๐ฎ๐น๐ฒ of the environment, creating a navigable archive that 2D imagery simply cannot replicate.
This scan preserves a precise moment in time that will never exist in exactly the same way again.
While my work often focuses on Virtual Production and Real Estate, this highlights a critical third use case:

By capturing these spaces as high-fidelity 3D Gaussian Splats, we create more than just a visual record; we create a spatial archive. This is invaluable for:
* ๐๐ผ๐ฐ๐๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฝ๐๐ฏ๐น๐ถ๐ฐ ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ before they disappear.
* ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ฟ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ป ๐บ๐ฒ๐บ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ and the evolution of neighborhoods.
* ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ด๐ถ๐๐ฎ๐น ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ต๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐ for researchers, historians, and urban planners.
* ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐บ๐ผ๐๐ฒ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐ for curators and cultural institutions.
I am increasingly interested in how 3D capture can serve as a tool for ๐บ๐ฒ๐บ๐ผ๐ฟ๐, ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป, ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฐ๐๐น๐๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐น ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ, ensuring that the "temporary" becomes permanent.
If you work in ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป, ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ต๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐, ๐๐ฟ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ต๐ถ๐๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐, ๐บ๐๐๐ฒ๐๐บ๐, ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ฝ๐๐ฏ๐น๐ถ๐ฐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐, Iโd love to connect and discuss how this technology can support your mission.
