Client-Side 3D Gaussian Splatting

A web-based tool or API that enables client-side, privacy-preserving generation of 3D Gaussian splatting models from single 2D images, leveraging ONNX runtime and WebGPU to bypass server-side processing and heavy local setups. Existing 3D Gaussian splatting pipelines are complex, resource-intensive, and often require server-side processing, raising privacy concerns. This solution offers a lightweight, client-side alternative for quick 3D model generation directly in the browser, ensuring data privacy and reducing computational overhead for the user.
