The Challenge with Creating Photorealistic 3D Environments

Current solutions for creating photorealistic 3D environments often require expensive hardware. This makes the process inaccessible to many creators and businesses. vid2scene is a free online Gaussian Splatting platform that leverages recent advances in computer graphics research to provide a software-only approach, allowing anybody to create photorealistic 3D scenes from simple 2D videos.

How It Works

Record

Record a video of your environment. You can use any device that has a camera, including your smartphone.

Upload

Seamlessly upload your video to our platform. We will process it and generate a photorealistic 3D scene using our free online Gaussian Splatting technology.

Explore

Explore your immersive 3D scene in real-time using our web-based 3D viewer. VR support is coming soon.

Advantages

No Specialized Hardware Required

All you need is a smartphone to create stunning 3D scenes. No expensive camera equipment required.

Unconstrained, Moveable Viewpoint

You can explore your scene from any angle or position within the environment. Other solutions are limited to fixed points-of-view.

Realistic Lighting and Reflections

Current 3D scanning technology provides a static look, without any dynamic light reflections. vid2scene uses realistic lighting and reflections for free and by default.

Real-Time Rendering on Any Device

Experience your 3D scenes seamlessly across all your devices.

VR Support
(coming soon)

Dive into your 3D scenes with VR integration.

Example Applications

Real Estate

Frequently Asked Questions

Take a 2-3 minute video walking through a space with your phone. Our platform processes this video to create a fully explorable 3D environment. Unlike fixed-position 360° cameras, you can freely move through the space from any angle.

Yes. AI is used to help track objects between frames, but everything you see comes from your original recording. AI is not used to generate any extra objects or information that wasn't captured in the video recording.

The platform can only reconstruct areas that were captured in your video. If a space wasn't recorded, it won't appear in the 3D environment. That's why we recommend a thorough walkthrough that covers all areas you want to showcase.

Unlike traditional virtual tours with fixed viewpoints, with vid2scene, you can freely explore the space. Both first-person and third-person controls are available. On desktop, use your mouse to look around and click to move. On mobile, use intuitive touch controls to navigate the scene.

Recording takes 2-3 minutes for a typical room or outdoor area. Processing takes about an hour and a half to generate the 3D environment. This is significantly faster than traditional solutions that require setting up equipment at multiple positions.

  • No expensive camera equipment needed - just use your phone
  • Single continuous video capture instead of multiple setup positions
  • Free camera movement rather than fixed viewpoints
  • Works well for outdoor spaces like backyards and waterfront views
  • Significantly faster capture time

Yes! Our free online Gaussian Splatting platform is completely free to use. You can upload videos, process them into 3D scenes, and explore the results without any cost. We believe in making advanced 3D reconstruction technology accessible to everyone. There is a Pro subscription available for those who want higher quality and priority processing.
