Digital Nation Entertainment and Gracia have presented the first live-streamed musical performance captured with 4D Gaussian Splatting. The event was recorded in Los Angeles, using a volumetric stage designed by Addie Reiss. Viewers can replay the experience in any web browser, without installing anything.
Cameras and Radiance Fields for More Accurate Capture 🎥
The process transforms traditional volumetric capture of polygon meshes into radiance fields. The studio's camera network is optimized for 4D reconstruction, preserving smooth edges, subsurface response, and micro-details like fine textures or reflections. This allows for a more faithful representation of movement and light, without the typical artifacts of other methods.
Now Musicians Are Also Point Clouds with Style 🎤
Finally, artists can stop worrying about polygon meshes that gave them the look of action figures. Now they are radiance fields, which sounds more elegant even if no one understands what it means. The good thing is that you don't need to download anything, just open the browser and watch your favorite singer turn into a well-lit point cloud.
