What It Does

360Gaussian exists for a specific pain point: normal 3DGS pipelines are usually built around perspective photos, but many spatial captures come from 360 cameras.

Use it when the capture source is already 360 and you want a more direct path to a trained splat than manually extracting every perspective view yourself.

How To Use It In 3DGS

Capture slow, stable 360 footage with strong scene coverage.
Process the video or image sequence through the 360Gaussian workflow.
Inspect the trained result for tripod artifacts, seam issues, and sparse areas.
Open the output in a viewer or editor for cleanup and delivery conversion.

Things To Watch

360 workflows still suffer when lighting is dim or the camera moves too quickly.
Mirrors, windows, and the camera operator can be more visible in 360 captures.
Check licensing, platform, and update status before building a commercial workflow around it.

When To Use It

Choose 360Gaussian when your source is already 360 video and you want a packaged workflow rather than manually extracting views and building a trainer pipeline.
For unusual camera paths or quality-critical work, compare it against a manual 360Extractor plus COLMAP route.
Use SuperSplat afterward for cleanup; 360 captures often include ceiling, floor, tripod, and operator artifacts.
