Here's a much better explainer from some people who seem to actually understand the subject matter and not just the buzzwords (and yes, the end result is basically a highly-detailed point cloud): [VIDEO]
Read original comment ↗Not a reading guide, but Computerphile have a good introductory video on Gaussian Splats: [VIDEO] Individualkex also has a couple videos on the high level ideas: [LINK]
Read original comment ↗You're on HN, not reddit. OP linked to a special interest blog, not an explainer piece. The burden to catch up here is on the reader. The search input is right at the bottom: [LINK] but start here: TUM AI Lecture Series - The 3D Gaussian Splatting Adventure: Past, Present, Futur (George Drettakis) [LINK] or here: [VIDEO]
