The guys are going to be so happy I brought back a girl this time. Back from an adventure to a home cooked meal. Get all our ripped clothing mended. And wait until you see laundry mountain. I think you can see it from here. Wendy? Where did you go? Oh no! Think happy thoughts Wendy! Think happy... #SPLAT
Rushing to her car, she didn't see the curb. Her foot caught, and time slowed. She flailed, arms windmilling, a purse flying free. Ahead, a barrel cactus waited, it's spines glinting in the sun. With a final, agonizing lurch, she face-planted into the prickly sphere. #splat ! A muffled curse escaped her lips as she became one with the desert flora. The next day her face was a beautiful mosaic of many different colors #Chattories

🎉🎉 Breaking news! Now you can finally "splat" #city-scale #3D #Gaussians right onto your phone! 📱🤯 Because that's what everyone's been waiting for—the ability to turn their phones into glorified #scatter #plots. 🙄 Yeah, sure, let's just throw some more #tech #buzzwords into the mix and pretend anyone has the faintest clue how this actually improves life. 🚀

Voyager: Real-Time Splatting City-Scale 3D Gaussians on Your Phone

3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) is an emerging technique for photorealistic 3D scene rendering. However, rendering city-scale 3DGS scenes on mobile devices, e.g., your smartphones, remains a significant challenge due to the limited resources on mobile devices. A natural solution is to offload computation to the cloud; however, naively streaming rendered frames from the cloud to the client introduces high latency and requires bandwidth far beyond the capacity of current wireless networks. In this paper, we propose an effective solution to enable city-scale 3DGS rendering on mobile devices. Our key insight is that, under normal user motion, the number of newly visible Gaussians per second remains roughly constant. Leveraging this, we stream only the necessary Gaussians to the client. Specifically, on the cloud side, we propose asynchronous level-of-detail search to identify the necessary Gaussians for the client. On the client side, we accelerate rendering via a lookup table-based rasterization. Combined with holistic runtime optimizations, our system can deliver low-latency, city-scale 3DGS rendering on mobile devices. Compared to existing solutions, Voyager achieves over 100$\times$ reduction on data transfer and up to 8.9$\times$ speedup while retaining comparable rendering quality.
