Well since the app and community is dying here. I was wondering if an alternative community and tools etc exist for public sharing of Gaussian Splatting instead of it all remaining as private scans.
I took great pride in scanning places and uploading them to the map for others to enjoy. But that appeal has slowed in the last few month due to the community drying up.
I was hoping one day the Scaniverse map would get merged with Google Earth services. But that would take some higher ups to negotiate that with Google. Would be great for Android XR honestly.

Supersplat is the go to community wise. The viewer and editor are top notch.
vid2scene is another that’s been really good. Does video to splat and offers a Meta Quest data acquisition application with an open source pipeline to process into the colmap format (to then process in Brush/NerfStudio/PostShot)
But is there a community to openly share splats and not just a private system. I enjoy being able to make splats and posting to map that others can experience.
Supersplat is public. It’s not map based, but you can share your splats to a public page and add any details you want in the description.
You can also have them unlisted too, so it’s very granular control over it.
Hi,
Arrival.Space is an excellent resource for sharing your Scaniverse assets. They have a free tier but the pro is well worth the investment. Supersplat has been mentioned and it is integrated with AS as its editor.
Hope to see you in there one day.
P.S If you hurry they have a deadline on the 31st Dec for Splat Of The Year’ competition.
Enjoy the festive period.
It’s sad that Niantic doesn’t care about this amazing app. I too really got into making good scans to share but there is no community or support. I suggest you try Airvis which is quite active and has a developer that keeps working on improvements. It now works with Android and Apple. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rlt.fb1&pcampaignid=web_share

I think the problem has to do with their takeover earlier this year. Air Vis is decent and improving. I beta tested their earlier version but it always required a good connection and only gave 60 seconds to get around an object. I believe this has all changed since then.
AirVis has improved a lot. You now get 150 seconds of scan time. A little more would be nice but this works. The creators continue to improve it so I think it’s worth supporting.

Hey everyone! I’ve been using Scaniverse a lot lately, and the potential of .spz files (Gaussian Splatting) for scanning entire areas and environments—not just objects—is absolutely insane. However, I feel like these scans often end up ‘stuck’ on our phones.
I’m thinking about building a collaborative platform: an interactive map where anyone can upload their scans of real-world locations (plazas, historical facades, public interiors, interesting streets, etc.).
All .spz files on the platform would be completely public and available for anyone to download.
I want to create a truly open library of digital twins. What do you guys think? Would you be interested in contributing or using a resource like this?
