What is 3D Gaussian splatting?
3D Gaussian splatting is a new type of rendering process. In contrast to traditional polygon meshes, it is based on the projection of thousands of small, transparent points (so-called “Gaussians”) in 3D space. Each of these points contains information about position, color, size and density. The superimposition of these points creates a dense, realistic image.
Extended reality is a future technology that has become increasingly important over the past few years through the use of virtual and augmented reality applications. Several large companies utilise it in a wide variety of scenarios, including product development, employee training, remote device maintenance, sales and marketing, and HR.
The book aims to contextualize the topic and substantiate its relevance using case studies from various industries and expert interviews.
Extended Reality (XR) encompasses Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR), offering innovative ways to transform business operations. By integrating XR, companies can optimize workflows, enhance customer experiences, and boost efficiency. But how can these technologies be practically applied in business? Below, we explore their key applications and important considerations for implementation.
Digitality as a competitor to reality
The rapid advances in technology have catapulted modern society into a digital age. Digitalization has permeated almost every aspect of our lives and created a new dimension of existence - digitality. In this context, digitality is understood as the totality of all digital information, virtual spaces, and online interactions that form a parallel world to physical reality.
With real-time simulations as just the start, new and exciting use cases can reshape industries ranging from healthcare to entertainment.
