Arcturus Vision

Arcturus Vision is the current name of Arcturus Industries, which announced a CUDA Gaussian splatting engine in 2023. The former arcturus.industries domain now resolves to a notice pointing at the Arcturus Vision site, and the company lists Madrid and Seattle. It is not connected to the volumetric video company Arcturus behind HoloSuite, which is a separate business sharing the name.

The Arcturus Vision Camera is a $149 module that attaches to the front expansion port of the Valve Steam Frame and is certified Steam Frame Compatible. Two 32 megapixel Sony RGB sensors sit 64 mm apart, roughly matching human interpupillary distance. Recording runs at 5K per eye, 2464 by 2464, up to 60fps, or 2.5K per eye, 1232 by 1232, up to 120fps, in 10 bit HDR using HLG across a 125 by 105 degree binocular field of view. The module weighs under 10 grams.

The camera records stereo spatial video and performs no reconstruction of its own. Arcturus Vision publishes an official script, avcam_to_3dgs.py, that takes a synced camera MP4, builds an aligned COLMAP scene from the recording's own calibration and trajectory, and then trains in LichtFeld Studio to produce a scene.sog file. It trains at half resolution and limits the result to 1.5 million Gaussians. The script requires a Linux workstation with an NVIDIA GPU, and the vendor states that it has not been adapted for Windows.

Gaussian XR is a free Steam Frame viewer, released on Steam on September 28 2026, that reads PLY and SOG and ships with eight example scenes, including a house on Lake Michigan and a house at different stages of construction. It automatically discovers compatible scenes copied into a GaussianXR folder in Documents on the headset, so a scene produced by the script loads the same way a model trained elsewhere does. A separate Sync app pulls recordings off the headset on Windows or Mac and converts them for playback on Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest.
