I have written about Gaussian Splatting graphics before. It has the ability to produce unbelievably photorealistic environments (with some limitations like animations being a very rough spot for it) – but are now entering the realm of realtime.

Developer Iakov Sumygin has created a minimalistic playable video game using Gaussian splats for the environment data, and you can load it up and try it right now in your browser.

It definitely shows of the quality – and the limitations – of the technology. It’s an interesting experiment showing how far we’ve come.
