Image of computer-generated holography using Gaussian Wave Splatting
We're excited to share Gordon Wetzstein's #SIGGRAPH2025 paper! It shows how to combine Gaussian splatting and computer-generated holography using Gaussian Wave Splatting. This enables photorealistic 3D holograms for emerging holographic VR/AR displays. Gordon is a Faculty Team Member of the SRC.

SRC team before the wind at Windshaper
A dozen students and staff from the SRC visited the WindShaper facility in NASA Ames. Can we say we were "blown away"? The WindShaper allows creation of wind patterns that might be found in urban environments, in order to design and test safer urban flying robots and vehicles.
