📢 Looking for 1 PhD student (3 years) in Vienna!

We have an open position for someone to tackle MASSIVE 3D datasets and turn them into instant visuals for display, editing, and interacting!

A really fun project we've been working on: Real-Time Rendering with JPEG textures! Ended up working way better than we expected (1500+ fps). Will be interesting extending this to modern formats like AVIF or JPEG XL.

First results on "Potree-Next", a WebGPU-based rewrite of Potree. Still work to do before it is production-ready, but over the course of the next year it will catch up with the current Potree 1.8, and eventually replace it.

Ich fänd auch mehr hausseitige Begrünung cool anstatt strassenseitige. Irgendwie wirkt es einfach viel netter zwischen begrünten Häusern zu spazieren, als zwischen einem grauen Haus und ein bisschen Grün neben der Strasse.

Das hier sind die Gehwege entlang einiger von Daejeon's größten Straßen. Soeine richtig gscheite no-nonsense Begrünung wär mal was für Wien.

Productive-procrastination: My attempt at dynamically growable arrays, but using virtual memory.

- No copies as array grows.
- Initializing array with 400GB virtual memory, and physically comitting as much memory as needed.

Here is our gaussian splat editor: github.com/m-schuetz/Sp...

Eventually I want it to be able to take scans of ugly streets and beautify them like a photoshop for gaussians. :)

Garden-table-removal tool now also working.

Probably one of the most important features ever: Undo & Redo.

Now also working with transformations of selected splats. Although it's currently a slightly "lossy" undo because I'm only saving the transformation matrix and result of inverse may not exactly match original.

Brush-Painting splats in VR, inclusive undo+redo if you screw up.

Some splat editing in VR

Cleaning up a freshly reconstructed splat model in VR.

My new favourite way to code: Create a static html page, but reload it every 0.01 seconds.

It's not the same but for vienna there is a map with geolocated old photos, typically with the option to slide between old and new from the same perspective.

It's pretty cool, especially if you know these places and can check what they looked like.
