Summary

LiveSplat is an algorithm for realtime Gaussian splatting using RGBD camera streams. Join our discord for discussion and help. Check out the demo video below to see the the type of output that LiveSplat produces. LiveSplat_Alexa.mp4 Message from the Author LiveSplat was developed as a small part of a larger proprietary VR telerobotics system. I posted a video of the Gaussian splatting component of this system on Reddit and many people expressed an interest in experimenting with it themselves. So I spun it out and I'm making it publicly available as LiveSplat (see installation instructions below). LiveSplat should be considered alpha quality. I do not have the resources to test the installation on many different machines, so let me know if the application does not run on yours (assuming your machine meets the requirements). I've decided to keep LiveSplat closed source in order to explore potential business opportunities. If you are a business wanting to license/integrate this technology, please email mark@axby.cc. I hope you have fun with LiveSplat! — Mark Liu Requirements Python 3.12+ Windows or Ubuntu (other Linux distributions may work, but are untested) x86_64 CPU Nvidia graphics card One or more (up to four) RGBD sensors Installation Note that the application is not open source, and is covered by this license. Ubuntu: pip install https://livesplat.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/livesplat-0.1.0-cp312-cp312-manylinux_x86_64.whl Windows: pip install https://livesplat.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/livesplat-0.1.0-cp312-cp312-win_amd64.whl Running To run LiveSplat, you will have to create an integration script that feeds your RGBD streams to the LiveSplat viewer. This repo provides an integration script for Intel Realsense devices called livesplat_realsense.py.
