Phone Scanning and 3D Gaussian Splatting Revolutionize Real Estate Tours
bigaiguy · x · 2026-07-04
A developer scanned an entire house using a smartphone and uploaded it, allowing anyone to "walk into" every room with photorealistic quality directly via a web browser—no app, VR headset, or real estate agent appointment required. The underlying technology utilizes 3D Gaussian Splatting rather than traditional polygon rendering. The economic impact on traditional models is staggering: the agent fee for a $500,000 property is typically around $15,000, whereas a single scan costs about $200. A user could virtually tour 50 properties in one night, with the file size being smaller than a TikTok video.
