How to capture

Same inputs as FreeGaussian — 360, video, or photos — then a first-person walk plus fly, reconstructed in-house. Bad coverage cannot be fixed in train. Slow, overlap, lights on.

360 camera

Insta360 X4/X5: export a stitched equirectangular MP4 with direction lock, or upload the .insv. Walk a perimeter, fill a grid, close the loop. Keep about a meter from walls. This is how FreeGaussian gets complete rooms — we unwrap those frames to pinhole views and still let you walk them at eye height.

Phone or camera video

Chest height, slow walk, lights on, overlap doorways. One continuous take per space. We do not crop a long clip to a 28 s window.

Photos

At least 8 stills with 30–50% overlap, same as a photogrammetry set. Equirect stills (2:1) are unwrapped the same way as 360 video.

Walk and fly

When the splat is ready, WASD walks the filmed path. Switch to Fly (Q/E up/down) to look around like a splat viewer. Orbit-only is not the product.

What we will not do

We do not send your footage to FreeGaussian, Luma, Polycam, or Atlas.

We do not invent rooms you did not capture.
