It is now possible to save the incredibly realistic Gaussian splat format in USDZ file format. Yet iOS cannot display them.
This is a massive gap in content flexibility and use case for users of iOS.
Apple’s quick look would be a perfect fit for AR and model view of digital twins of products and buildings etc, enabling millions of users to have extended user experiences and designers extended platforms to display gaussian splats.
Android can already display Gaussian splats in AR, it’s crazy that apple should restrict this format either from the website viewers, or by linked usdz file.
I hope the Apple dev team will consider expanding this functionality to hugely improve user experiences, and allow a global platform to developers and marketplaces to create better digital twins, and product marketplaces.
