Get Your Splat On: Insta360 Adds 360-to-3D Spatial Capture to Its Newer Cameras
Tech > Computing > Gadgets > Photography > Cameras Get Your Splat On: Insta360 Adds 360-to-3D Spatial Capture to Its Newer Cameras Also known as Gaussian splatting, the feature lets you capture a space with amazing 3D detail with zero difficulty. Insta360 is adding this new feature, called Spatial Capture, and it only requires you to walk around with a camera recording a video for a few minutes. After a few minutes, you’ve got something that looks and feels like a video game, except it represents a real place, and no programming knowledge is required.
