About
Welcome to my 3D model of San Francisco's Sutro Tower. Feel free to explore it at your own pace. If you're on a phone, you can also engage the AR mode by clicking the little cube, it'll let you explore the scene by walking around and waving your phone.
Sutro Tower is a wonderful building, and I hope you enjoy learning a bit about it here. If you want to learn more, check out the much more thorough official digital tour.
This scan is made possible by recent advances in Gaussian Splatting. In particular, this scene was shot on drones, aligned in RealityCapture, trained in gsplat, compressed by SOGS, and rendered by PlayCanvas.
If I've made any mistakes, or if you want to get in touch, feel free to reach out over email or Twitter.
Special Thanks
Wieland Morgenstern for developing Self Organizing Gaussian compression and assisting me in understanding it.
Donovan Hutchence of PlayCanvas for helping me implement the decoding of the new compressed format that allows us to serve this entire scene in 30MB.
Daylen Yang for flying the second drone!
