StorySplat

The evolution of StorySplat shows no signs of slowing down, with a steady stream of updates over the past few weeks that bring even more functionality and polish to the platform. From social engagement features to experimental AR support, these changes continue to make StorySplat an indispensable tool for immersive storytelling.

StorySplat allows users to upload a trained Gaussian Splatting file, which is a way to render a Radiance Field and then create a guided narration, story, or educational experience in hyper real 3D.

StorySplat has introduced a range of updates that enhance usability and functionality, making the platform even more accessible and engaging. One of the most exciting additions is the ability to view likes, comments, and views for public scenes.

To further streamline the user experience, the platform now includes an upload button alongside the existing drag-and-drop features. The main toolbar and export/upload menus have also been refined, creating a cleaner and more intuitive interface.

Creators will appreciate the addition of a new Arc Rotate Camera in the editor, offering greater flexibility for scene creation. Meanwhile, improvements to the hotspot system, although still a work in progress, have enhanced functionality for dynamic scene interactions. 

The introduction of experimental augmented reality (AR) support marks an exciting step toward more interactive experiences, demonstrating StorySplat’s ambition to push the boundaries of immersive storytelling. Export options have also been expanded, with saved splats now retaining more export settings, and a new template for Pro users offering added customization. Business users can also now enjoy watermark-free exports, providing cleaner outputs for professional use.

Beyond these user-facing updates, the platform has received technical and performance improvements. Support for SPZ with spherical harmonics elevates visual fidelity, while numerous bug fixes, such as resolving issues with uploads exceeding 100MB, have ensured smoother functionality. Additionally, enhancements to splat pages and the Discover page have improved both style and performance. To top it off, better help documentation is now available, with ongoing improvements to provide clearer guidance for users.

Although not officially live yet, Pro and Commercial accounts are currently in beta testing. These new tiers promise advanced features like custom templates and watermark-free exports, tailored for professional and business users.

The StorySplat roadmap continues to expand, with Sonny working to refine features and address user feedback. For those interested in early access to Pro accounts, Sonny is encouraging users to comment or send a direct message for beta testing opportunities. Whether you’re a storyteller, journalist, or creative professional, this is the perfect time to dive deeper into StorySplat’s growing ecosystem. StorySplat can be accessed here!
