Asim Ahmed of Niantic Spatial showcased a short film built in just a couple of hours inside a high-fidelity real-world Gaussian splat of Leake Street Arches in London, using the team's astra tool.
The demo illustrates Niantic Spatial's mission of making the physical world "computable" for machines: real spaces reconstructed as editable, generatable digital assets that creators can film inside directly.
