Gaussian Splatting: walk through real assets at photorealistic quality.
We build 3DGS models from planned visual capture, so heritage bodies, architects, industry and construction can show real spaces in a smooth web viewer that comes close to standing there. Almost nobody in Spain offers this commercially yet — and for a client reviewing an asset from abroad, it is the difference between reading a report and seeing the place. We capture anywhere in Spain.
When visual precision matters too.
Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) is a recent technique that reconstructs a space from photographs or video and displays it photorealistically and navigably in the browser, close to being there. A point cloud is unbeatable for measuring; Gaussian Splatting is unbeatable for seeing and explaining. Together they give you a digital twin that is both accurate and easy to show to somebody who is not an engineer.
Industry
Understanding facilities
Natural visualisation of plants, plant rooms, tanks and service routes, where a navigable photograph removes ambiguity.
Construction
Real state, communicable
Monitoring, presentation and visual sign-off of spaces before, during or after an intervention.
3DGS to see; LIDAR to measure.
The right approach is to choose the data by the decision: LIDAR and BIM for metric accuracy, Gaussian Splatting for visual experience and spatial understanding.
When to use Gaussian Splatting
- Presenting heritage, architecture or industrial spaces.
- Web walkthroughs for clients, authorities or non-technical teams.
- Visual context for interventions and existing assets.
- As the photorealistic layer of a digital twin.
When to combine it with LIDAR
- Where reliable measurements and technical documentation are needed.
- Where as-built BIM modelling or derived drawings will follow.
- Where the asset has complex services or critical geometry.
- Where the visualisation has to be checked against metric reality.
Gaussian Splatting versus traditional photogrammetry.
Traditional photogrammetry produces point clouds from imagery, from which digital terrain models (DTM), digital surface models (DSM), orthophotos, meshes and metric point clouds are derived — accurate, but without the hyper-realistic quality good visualisation needs. That is where Gaussian Splatting wins: you can move through the scene in high definition with realistic lighting, though you cannot take measurements from it. The two are combined to hold metric data and visual experience at the same time.
Traditional photogrammetry
- Produces point clouds from photography.
- Derives DTM, DSM, orthophotos, meshes and point clouds.
- Metric accuracy for measurement and modelling.
- No hyper-realistic quality for visualisation.
Gaussian Splatting (3DGS)
- Does not measure: renders volumetric gaussians with realistic lighting.
- High-definition navigation at near-photographic quality.
- Built for visualisation and communication, not measurement.
- Smooth movement in the browser, nothing to install.
They are not substitutes: photogrammetry or LIDAR supply the metric data, Gaussian Splatting the hyper-realistic visual experience. Together they cover measurement and communication at once.
Capture designed for the web.
A good 3DGS result depends on planning: route, lighting, coverage, overlap, critical areas and the final visualisation objective.
01
Visual scope
We define the visual objective, the key scenes and the areas that need maximum detail.
02
Capture plan
We design routes and paths, and resolve constraints of light, access and overlap between shots.
03
Site capture
We record the asset with photography and video, supported by a point cloud where the scene needs it.
04
3DGS processing
We generate the photorealistic model and review visual continuity, navigation and critical viewpoints.
05
Web delivery
We prepare the result for a viewer or share it as a navigable experience.
Questions about Gaussian Splatting.
What is Gaussian Splatting?
Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) is a 3D reconstruction technique that represents a scene as millions of volumetric gaussians, producing photorealistic results rendered in real time in a web viewer or in virtual reality.
How is a Gaussian Splatting model of a building produced?
In five stages: define the visual objective and the key areas, plan the capture route (light, access, overlap), capture photography and video on site with point cloud support where the scene needs it, process the 3DGS model checking continuity and navigation, and deliver it embedded in a navigable web viewer.
How does it differ from photogrammetry or LIDAR?
LIDAR point clouds and photogrammetry exist to measure accurately; Gaussian Splatting exists to show and explain a space at photorealistic quality. They combine well: LIDAR to measure, 3DGS to explain.
How is the result viewed?
The model is explored directly in a browser, with no software to install and free movement through the scene, and can be shared by link with clients, public authorities or non-technical stakeholders anywhere in the world.
Does Gaussian Splatting replace traditional photogrammetry?
No. Traditional photogrammetry produces point clouds from imagery, from which DTMs, DSMs, orthophotos, meshes and metric point clouds are derived — accurate, but without hyper-realistic visual quality. Gaussian Splatting does not measure: it renders the scene in high definition with realistic lighting, for navigation and presentation. The two are combined to get the best of both.
