Vulkan Gaussian Splatting

Welcome to the Vulkan Gaussian Splatting documentation.

This project is a testbed to explore and compare various approaches to real-time visualization of 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) and related evolutions using the Vulkan API.

Rendering Pipelines

The sample implements several rendering pipelines together with technical Deep Dives:

• VK3DGSR — 3D Gaussian Splatting using Vulkan Rasterization
• VK3DGRT — 3D Gaussian Ray Tracing using Vulkan RTX
• VK3DGUT — 3D Gaussian Unscented Transform using Vulkan Rasterization
• VK3DGHR — 3D Gaussian Hybrid Rendering using Vulkan RTX and Rasterization

The following additional technical Deep Dives are also presented:

• Stochastic Transparency
• Lighting and Shadows
• Billboard Ray Tracing
