Some more background on the project in this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dQI...

PS such a project requires loads of compute, @nvidiastudio.bsky.social GPUs + carefully curated input data acquired with DSLRs and drones

Get in touch if interested to discuss more!

Public web preview upcoming - with scenarios other than the Basilica The San Pietro experience will be showcased in-situ on massive Surface Hubs along the visitors and guided tours paths

In the meantime, another experience based on 3DGS gaussian-splats: virtual.basilicasanpietro.va/en/explore-t...

Built on top of the shoulders of giants, amazing thanks to the great open-source communities & ecosystems at
- @threejs.org @mrdoob.com + R3F from @pmnd.rs team
- 3dTilesRendererJS from @gkjohnson.bsky.social
- gltf-transform from @donmccurdy.com
- #theatre_js etc

Results in an app with enriched tours to explore the finest details of the Basilica invisible from the ground & areas closed to the public + free-roaming 3D navigation! Based on massive #opengeospatial #CesiumJS 3d-tiles and @gltf.bsky.social tilesets
