Summary

The article highlights the use of 3D Gaussian Splatting technology to create photorealistic, browser-based house tours that eliminate the need for real estate agents and VR hardware. It emphasizes the low cost and open-source nature of the solution built on PlayCanvas.

SOMEONE JUST KILLED THE REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY A guy scanned an entire house with his phone. Uploaded it. Now anyone on Earth can walk through it in a browser tab. No app. No VR. No agent. No appointment. Click → you’re inside. Every room. Every angle. Every shadow. Photoreal. The numbers are insane: - Agent fee on a $500k home: $15,000 - Cost to make this scan: ~$200 - Time to “tour” 50 houses: one evening - File size: smaller than a TikTok The science is wild too: It’s called 3D Gaussian Splatting instead of polygons (how games render), it uses millions of tiny glowing “splats” of color and depth. AI reconstructs reality from your photos. The result loads on a phone and looks like you’re THERE. The grift opportunity is even wilder: Freelancers are already charging $300–$800 per scan for realtors, Airbnbs, venues, car dealers, museums. One person + one phone + one weekend = a business. 100% Open source. Built on PlayCanvas.
