VoxaVerse builds Vortex, a browser viewer that streams 4D Gaussian splat scenes and decodes local splat files without uploading them.
Platform
Browser (WebGL2, optional WebGPU), with WebXR entry offered where the device reports support
GPU
None published. Vortex renders in the browser on WebGL2 by default and offers WebGPU compute culling and sorting as an opt in, so a WebGL2 class GPU is the floor. VoxaVerse measured a mean 151 FPS on an Apple M3 Pro rendering the cook_spinach scene from Neural 3D Video. No local GPU is needed for reconstruction because the Solve tool has not shipped
Pricing
No pricing published. Vortex opens in the browser with no account and no download

Viewing 4D Gaussian splat scenes in a browser
Updated
July 2026
VoxaVerse is a volumetric capture company building a pipeline that runs from a ring of time synchronized phones through to a browser viewer, and one part of that pipeline has shipped. Vortex is a live browser viewer for 4D Gaussian splat scenes, and it is what renders the company's own hero scene on the front page of its site. The remaining four products, Beacon for iPhone capture, Relay for iPad direction, Prism as a macOS solve studio and a native Apple Vision Pro viewer, are all listed as coming.
Vortex streams a full temporal Gaussian scene into a browser tab with no application install and no player download. It reads the company's own .nx4d and .nxs4 stream formats alongside PLY, SPZ, SOG, glTF and GLB, .splat, .ksplat, and USDZ and USDA. A scene opened from local disk is decoded entirely in the browser, and the viewer exposes no upload endpoint, so a file dragged into it never leaves the machine.
Rendering defaults to WebGL2 and offers WebGPU compute culling and sorting as an opt in rather than a requirement. WebXR entry is feature detected, so a VR or AR button appears only where the device reports support. VoxaVerse publishes a per device support matrix and degrades to a slower scene rather than to a blank canvas where the GPU cannot keep up.
The figures VoxaVerse publishes are dated and attributed to its own instrumentation. It reports a mean 151 frames per second on an Apple M3 Pro rendering cook_spinach from the Neural 3D Video dataset, five seconds of free viewpoint 4D delivered as a single 36 megabyte stream with time included rather than as per frame files, and roughly a 95 percent reduction in delivery size against raw PLY. Five multi camera scenes solved end to end on one laptop in between one hour twenty seven minutes and one hour fifty nine minutes, wall clocked from the solve button rather than from an engine harness. The company flags any figure it has not seen independently reproduced.
The hero scene on the site is the athlete capture from the ViVo dataset published by Azzarelli and colleagues at the University of Bristol in 2025, licensed CC BY 4.0 and reconstructed as 4D Gaussians by VoxaVerse from fourteen cameras. The company notes that the source capture carries motion blur. Every scene the pipeline produces is stated to export to PLY, SPZ, SOG, glTF and OpenUSD, covering the KHR_gaussian_splatting glTF baseline that Khronos introduced as a release candidate in February 2026 and the OpenUSD splat schema that followed in March.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is VoxaVerse Vortex?
VoxaVerse Vortex is a browser viewer that streams 4D Gaussian splat scenes into a browser tab with no application install, and it is the one VoxaVerse product that has shipped.
Which file formats does VoxaVerse Vortex open?
VoxaVerse Vortex reads the company's .nx4d and .nxs4 stream formats alongside PLY, SPZ, SOG, glTF and GLB, .splat, .ksplat, and USDZ and USDA.
Does VoxaVerse Vortex upload local splat files?
VoxaVerse Vortex decodes a scene opened from local disk entirely in the browser and exposes no upload endpoint, so the file never leaves the machine.
What hardware does VoxaVerse Vortex need?
VoxaVerse Vortex renders on WebGL2 by default with WebGPU compute culling and sorting as an opt in, so a WebGL2 class GPU is the floor. VoxaVerse reports a mean 151 frames per second on an Apple M3 Pro rendering the cook_spinach scene from the Neural 3D Video dataset.
Which VoxaVerse products have not shipped yet?
VoxaVerse lists Beacon for iPhone capture, Relay for iPad direction, Prism as a macOS solve studio and a native Apple Vision Pro viewer as coming, and none of the four has shipped.
