PlayCanvas

PlayCanvas is a real-time collaborative platform and open source engine for WebGL and WebXR apps that has become one of the most active homes for Gaussian Splatting on the web. 3DGS support landed natively in the full PlayCanvas Editor in 2024, and the Engine has shipped steady splat-focused releases since — including unified gsplat rendering performance and customization in Engine 2.13 and further updates through version 2.15.

PlayCanvas also drives much of the web's 3DGS compression story: the team introduced Spatially Ordered Gaussians (SOGS), which the Engine adopted to make splats dramatically smaller for web delivery. Alongside the engine, PlayCanvas released Blocks and a responsive, composable SplatViewer component for displaying Gaussian splats, and community tutorials have shown full playable games built from a captured splat.

The company maintains a family of open splat tools: SuperSplat, the browser-based Gaussian Splatting editor (now at 2.0 with SuperSplat Studio); and SplatTransform, its splat conversion and processing tool, which reached 1.0 and then 2.0. The ecosystem builds on top of them too — GigaSplat forked SuperSplat for experimental features, and platforms like Bitbybit have added PlayCanvas support.
