WEBGPU GAUSSIAN SPLAT VIEWER
WEBGPU · TYPESCRIPT · GPU SORTING
An interactive viewer for large 3D Gaussian Splat scenes. The WebGPU pipeline explores GPU-side sorting and real-time display of dense point-based reconstructions while keeping navigation responsive.
Gaussian Splat
Viewer
A browser renderer for anisotropic 3D Gaussian splats, from binary point data to camera-space covariance, sorted transparency and GPU-driven drawing.
From 3D ellipsoid
to screen splat.
Each point carries position, scale, rotation, opacity and color. The vertex stage reconstructs its 3D covariance and projects it through the camera into an oriented screen-space quad.
Sort before
blend.
Transparent splats must arrive back-to-front. GPU-side key generation and sorting reorder visible instances while indirect draw data keeps submission compact.
Decode
Reads splat attributes into renderer-ready arrays.
Project
Transforms 3D covariance into a two-dimensional conic.
Sort
Builds depth keys for alpha compositing.
Rasterize
Evaluates color and opacity across each quad footprint.
