Computerphile · Explainer · YouTube title: 3D Gaussian Splatting! - Computerphile
Why it's here

HN recommends it as an accessible introduction to Gaussian splats, made by people who understand the subject.

What it covers

A Computerphile video in which Dr Mike Pound and PhD student Lewis Stuart explain 3D Gaussian splatting, a quick technique that turns photos of a scene into a 3D model without much compute. It includes a demo and compares the approach to NeRFs.
