Are they good for that either? I haven't seen one where the data isn't huge

  The data is definitely an issue, but they do make for fairly convenient alternatives to something like matterport where you need their cameras rented etc. Though I think matterport will just start using them since the other half of their product is the user experience on the web.

    Will they though? I saw a siggraph demo of a matterport like apartment preview using gaussian splatting. It downloaded 1.6gig! for a single apartment. Checking out a current matterport demo on their site for a similar sized space it was 60meg or 26x smaller

      Tbh most splats data today is not optimally stored. There’s a lot that could be done for streaming, data reduction and segmentation. So I think it’s definitely both possible and easy to reduce that data size in half if not more. They’ll likely never be smaller than a mesh and texture though, because the data frequency will be higher. A wall can be two triangles and a texture. The same representation as splats will have to be many hundreds of points, roughly at the count of the pixels of the lowest resolvable version of that texture. So I agree they’re far from optimal for data size. But they greatly reduce the complexity of data capture and representation.
