This is the UC Santa Barbara campus as 3D Gaussian Splatting models: millions of small, soft blobs of colour fitted to photographs, so the campus can be viewed from places no camera stood.
Each scene is one reconstruction, at one of two levels:
All scenes share one GPS frame in metres, so Go down takes you from a drone model to the street at the same spot, and Go up brings you back.
A model is only as good as the photos behind it, so by default you stand where a photo was taken and can look around a little (Move: Photos only); step between photos with ‹ ›, or take the Tour. Near photos lets you walk a few steps off them, and Free goes anywhere, where the model can break up.
