Gaussian splats are captures frozen in time — not anymore. ⚡ Experimental RELIGHTING of splat scenes in the @playcanvas engine, driven by a proxy mesh: swap the sky, drag the sun with its soft shadows, drop in point lights — all live on a captured scene. 🔗 Runnable demo👇

Today we are sharing three new research papers, each exploring a new way to generate 3D content by leveraging large-scale generative models and 2D priors. These projects were led by our incredible interns @HaoZhang623 @BDuisterhof @DrTunnels [1/4]

See you next week at AWE USA 2026! Come to our talk on June 17! Our Co-founder and CTO @s1ddok and Meta Reality Labs Research Scientist @nathanmatsuda will share lessons on how to capture 4DGS in unpredictable and challenging environments (more details about the talk in the replies). And stop by our booth #1334 to experience our 4DGS content in action on both Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest: from volumetric captures by our featuring partner DNE to an electronic rave created together with @RealityLabs. Long Beach, here we come!

We teamed up with researchers at Meta @RealityLabs to stress-test what's actually possible with Gaussian Splatting, and especially with volumetric video. Reconstructing buildings on a sunny day or celebrities in controlled studio conditions has gained a lot of traction. But what if the goal is to bring the viewer to an actual electronic rave, with zero compromises allowed? High-frequency strobing lights, fog machines filling the space with haze, complete darkness that clips the camera sensors to black. It was brutal, but together we pulled it off. We're proud to present a teaser of our joint project: an actual performance of 'Patience' by NYC electronic duo @membamusic, captured in full volumetric format and optimized for a wide range of devices. We didn't design this reconstruction around what the tech allows. Instead, we customised our pipeline to make the experience as immersive as possible. More details coming soon.

Apple's response for how independent developers can get access to the cameras on Vision Pro for app development is to post in the Apple dev forums or in the feedback app with a detailed use case and that they are interested in opening new opportunities for devs.

🚀 Excited to share Mirage: latent spatial memory for video world models. No RGB point-cloud render-and-encode loop. No pixel-space detour. Just store 3D memory directly in latent space. ⚡ Up to 10.57x faster generation and 55x smaller 3D cache. 🧵 🌐 aka.ms/latent-spatial-memory

Imagine #XR that's smarter and more immersive than anything you've experienced before. Something new is coming 👀

Introducing Claude Fable 5: a Mythos-class model that we’ve made safe for general use. Its capabilities exceed those of any model we’ve ever made generally available.

World Labs CEO Dr. Fei-Fei Li says AI must change how we teach and evaluate students: "AI must change learning. AI must change K-16 learning." "The most precious resource of our entire world is human capital." "When we have gotten the technology that can answer standardized tests... when AI can do better than an average human, it's not about humans are bad. It's about we need to change the education system." "We need to change how we evaluate. We need to change the way we empower teachers to educate the next generation of students where they can use these tools, be empowered, and do things that we can never imagine." "All of the kids today should not be scared of AI. They should feel the human agency to lead AI, to use AI in the right way, and to use AI to make the impact that they want to make for the world." @drfeifei at Bloomberg Tech live with @emilychangtv

Gaussian Splats in USDZ One thing from WWDC that I haven't seen many people talking about: Apple, Pixar, NVIDIA, and Adobe are working on bringing Gaussian Splats into OpenUSD through a new primitive called Particle Fields. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but this feels like a pretty big deal. Up until now, splats have mostly lived in their own world with custom viewers and custom pipelines. Bringing them into USD means scanned environments, meshes, materials, lighting, and metadata can all exist in the same scene description. As someone who has been experimenting with Gaussian Splats on Vision Pro, this feels like a glimpse of where things are headed. Less: "How do I get this splat renderer working?" More: "It's just another asset in my USD scene." USD keeps getting closer to becoming the common language for spatial computing.

Apple WWDC26で発表された新API「GaussianSplatResource」。 現実の空間を丸ごと捉える3DGSデータを、RealityKit側で直接描画可能に。 iPhoneやiPad、MacやApple Vision Proまで超高精度な立体空間の再現が標準機能として実装できます。 #wwdc26
