With tech like this I'm starting to wonder if realistic games are going to become normalized and what will happen as a result. Also has anyone been working on solving the "blurry" look these splats have up close?

Each Gaussian "splat" is literally a little blurry blob. The way to make it sharper is to increase the resolution - i.e. increase the number of splats, decrease the size of each one. This increases both training time and render time though.

  > realistic games That said, games don't have to be super realistic to be fun. E.g. I could imagine a game based on GS at "Minecraft resolution".

But if I'm not mistaken, this technique still requires to get a ton of pictures from many angles ? It's fine for visiting an apartment or watching a cooking video in 3D, but how possibly can you apply this to a videogame that has much more degrees of freedom ? Are you gonna scan an entire city with a drone to create a GTA-like ?

  > We introduce the 4D Gaussian Splatting (4D-GS) to achieve real-time dynamic scene rendering while also enjoying high training and storage efficiency. This seems to be a rendering efficiency innovation, not particular to scanning. That means it applies to artificially generated environments, whether photo realistic or stylized, and whether based on a real environment or a completely fictional one. But of course, any photorealistic, extremely faithful to the smallest detail, rendering of a real place is going to involve a lot of scanning. That is true for any kind of rendering.
