Amazon Web Services has detailed Visual Asset Management System (VAMS) 2.6, released in September as v2.6.0-A, which makes an embedded SuperSplat editor the default viewer for gaussian splats.
VAMS 2.3.0 added splat viewing last November with a BabylonJS viewer for .ply and .spz files and a PlayCanvas viewer for .ply and .sog. The new SuperSplat Editor viewer plugin embeds the open source SuperSplat editor from PlayCanvas and opens .lcc, .ply, .sog, and .splat. XGRIDS .lcc multi level of detail files could not be viewed in VAMS before 2.6. SuperSplat has read the .lcc format since version 2.12, and XGRIDS LCC Studio publishes to superspl.at through PlayCanvas's REST publishing API.
The release notes describe the SuperSplat viewer as the first VAMS viewer embedded through an iframe. Its editing and export tools run in the browser only, and changes are not saved back to VAMS. The editor renders through WebGPU, which the release notes say requires current Chrome or Edge, Safari 26 or later, or Firefox with WebGPU enabled.
The existing BabylonJS and PlayCanvas splat viewers gain a floating three tab control panel. The BabylonJS viewer also now releases its WebGL context when it closes. Disposing the engine previously left the context alive, so from the eighth splat in a session the browser discarded the oldest context and blanked viewers already open.
The Gaussian Splat Toolbox pipeline moves to v1.0.0 of the upstream Open Source 3D Reconstruction Toolbox for Gaussian Splats on AWS, adding .usdz output and a collision mesh .ply for simulation and physics alongside the existing splat, video, and image outputs. The pipeline templates now declare RUN_RECON, RUN_TRAIN, and CROP_OUTPUT_BOUNDS as optional booleans and CROP_MODE as an enum of rigid_body or environment. The release notes list a fix for these keys: they mapped to real runtime settings but had not been declared, so an operator-supplied value was dropped before it reached the container.
The asset bucket's CORS configuration now exposes the Accept-Ranges, Content-Range, Content-Length, and Content-Encoding headers, which AWS says is to support future progressive splat streaming. Five patch releases followed v2.6.0-A, the latest being v2.6.5 on October 16.
VAMS is available on GitHub under the Apache 2.0 license.
