Bubo² has launched a cloud service that turns photos, video and raw Insta360 footage into hosted 3D Gaussian splats.

Bubo² will take the .insv file straight off an Insta360 camera, with no stitching or export, and reconstruct both fisheye lenses as a two lens rig while an automatic pass masks out the operator and mount. Varjo Teleport began accepting X4 and X5 .insv uploads in August, and FreeGaussian rebuilt its hosted pipeline around raw .insv files in October. Bubo² cannot mix 360 footage with photos or flat video in one build, treats an equirectangular MP4 as flat video, and does not yet support recordings split into one file per lens or other 360 cameras.

Camera poses come from a COLMAP based solver Bubo² developed and are reused on rebuilds, and training runs on cloud GPUs. Several videos or 360 recordings can be combined into one Model.

The browser Model Editor selects splats by rectangle, brush, sphere or box with depth aware picking, levels the floor, and saves PLY or SPZ with the spherical harmonics rotated along with the Model. The Showcase Editor adds Views with orbit and zoom limits, tours, free movement that does not pass through walls, and Hotspots that hide when occluded. Showcases embed with one script tag and stream as they load. Bubo² does not make meshes and will have no API at launch.

Bubo² will bill in credits, with one credit equal to one GPU minute, 60 credits for a standard Model and 180 for a high quality Model. Plans will run from Pay as you go at $0, with credit packs from $3, to Creator at $12 a month for 360 credits, Pro at $49 for 1,800, and Studio at $149 for 6,000 credits with white label Showcases. Alignment is never charged and failed builds are refunded.

Pricing is listed on the Bubo² site.
