3DGS Capture and Processing
Pipeline ready; requires 360 drone.
A service that captures real spaces as photorealistic, navigable 3D environments using 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS). The output runs in a web browser with no app installation — the viewer moves through the space smoothly, unlike older virtual tour tools that jump between fixed photo points.
Why now
- Zillow has rolled out 3DGS property tours in the United States; Apartments.com has followed.
- The virtual tour software market is growing at an estimated 15–20% per year through 2033.
- BuildingPoint SA (Cape Town) is already promoting 3DGS for construction documentation.
- Internationally, professional 3DGS services charge $500–$5,000 per scene; custom web integrations run into the tens of thousands of dollars.
- No local provider is offering this service in the Garden Route.
What the company already has
- Capture (small objects): iPhone 16 Pro.
- Processing stack: Unity, Blender, WebAR, React Three Fiber — the same tools a 3DGS pipeline plugs into.
- Finishing skills: cleanup, lighting correction, branding, and AR overlay — delivered weekly to Fuzzy Logic Studio (UK).
- Product integration: 3DGS captures feed directly into Super Immersive Homes as the 3D walkthrough layer.
- Existing buyer: Fuzzy Logic’s VR training pipelines need real-world environment capture; 3DGS is faster and cheaper than manual modelling.

Next steps
