Gaussian splats double as shared GPS: one city map localizes drones, robots and phones

Gaussian splats aren't just pretty 3D scans — the same scan can serve as shared GPS for drones, robots and phones, the author notes. Splat a few city blocks, run MultiSet VPS, and all devices share one map: drop a waypoint in AR glasses and the robot navigates there. "Moments like this make you feel like Tony Stark."
