Spark 2.0: 3D on the Web
Project overview
Spark 2.0 is World Labs’ open-source 3D Gaussian splat renderer for Three.js, built to make large 3D worlds explorable on the web. Its level-of-detail (LoD) system, progressive streaming, and virtual memory support preparing, loading, and rendering scenes across devices. The release gives developers tools for bringing detailed spatial content into browser-based and immersive experiences.
