Getting Started
Getting Started with SplatKing
SplatKing captures photo, video, and LiDAR data optimized for radiance field reconstruction — Gaussian splatting, NeRF, and related methods. Everything in the app serves the final 3D result, not the individual frames.
Your first capture
1Open SplatKing and grant camera access.
2Choose a capture mode along the bottom — Photo, Video, or LiDAR.
3Frame your subject and start capturing.
4When you stop, a session summary appears — Share, Show in Files, or Share Folder.
5Your capture is saved on-device: Files → On My iPhone → SplatKing → Captures.
Each capture is a self-contained folder — a “splatpack” — holding the media plus the metadata a reconstruction pipeline needs.
Capture modes
SplatKing’s defining behavior is dual-lens capture: in Photo and Video it records the 0.5× ultra-wide and 1× wide cameras at the same time. Two synchronized viewpoints per moment give downstream reconstruction more coverage and parallax from a single pass. Tap a mode to see what fires.
PhotoSimultaneous dual-lens stills
Lenses
● 0.5× Ultra● 1× Wide
Captures simultaneous stills on the 0.5× ultra-wide and 1× wide lenses — two synchronized viewpoints per frame.
- Capture Once — a single dual-lens frame.
- Start Auto — captures at a steady cadence while you walk the scene, for systematic coverage.
Best forDeliberate, high-detail captures where you want maximum image quality per frame.
Which mode should I use?
You can capture the same scene in more than one mode and combine the results downstream.
Where captures go
Every session is saved on-device as a dated folder under Files → On My iPhone → SplatKing → Captures. From the post-capture summary you can Share, Show in Files, or Share Folder. Nothing leaves your device unless you share it.
