GS

Gaussian Splat renderer in VR with Unity

I was playing with this for a few weeks over the holiday break. This is one of the GS3D sample scenes running on PCVR at about 65 FPS. I'm sorting on the CPU at the moment, so there are some hitches, but it works! I may publish this as a Unity asset. (I'd love to get it working on Vision Pro, but we'll see.)

In plain words

A Gaussian Splat renderer implementation for VR environments built in Unity, currently running GS3D sample scenes on PCVR hardware at approximately 65 frames per second. The tool performs CPU-based sorting and experiences occasional performance hiccups, but demonstrates functional real-time 3D rendering in virtual reality. The creator is exploring potential publication as a Unity asset and investigating compatibility with Vision Pro headsets.

  • Eigendrum - Draw any shape and hear what it sounds like as a drum▲243

    Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…
