PlayCanvas

We shipped SuperSplat just over a year ago, and I've been a little obsessed with the splats people have been uploading ever since - abandoned buildings, historic streets, whole neighborhoods, captured to a level of detail that still surprises me every week. So when Christoph Schindelar, one of the best artists out there working with Gaussian Splats, proposed to make a scan for me, I jumped at the opportunity. He scanned an abandoned site, cleaned the data, and had it ready for production in just two days. The final look and feel of the demo is a direct testament to his incredible craftsmanship. I picked up the scan from there and turned it into a game. An actual browser PlayCanvas FPS - with collision, baked lighting, a navmesh, and NPC soldiers with different personalities - all running on top of a photogrammetric scan of a real place.

New browser feature: WICG/html-in-canvas lets you draw HTML5 directly into GPU memory and use it as a texture. This could be a game changer for bringing rich HTML UI into Web3D experiences. Imagine live DOM-based interfaces rendered onto 3D surfaces with native browser workflows. The HTML-in-Canvas feature can currently be enabled in Chrome via: chrome://flags/#canvas-draw-element Exciting step toward smoother UI pipelines for immersive web apps. #Web3D #HTML5 #PlayCanvas #ArrivalSpace

Drop in: gameplay is starting to work inside Gaussian Splatting scenes. Not just visually. As a shared system. This clip shows vehicle-based skateboard physics moving through a photorealistic scanned environment, while players push a shared objective together. That is the shift. A splat is no longer just a visual asset. It can also be a place where physics, multiplayer, and game logic come together. This one was built and tuned by Christoph Schindelar inside Arrival.Space, using custom vibes in his scanned skatepark. And it does not stop at the demo. The space can be duplicated, remixed, and changed into something else: physics, rules, progression, interaction. Built on PlayCanvas Engine.

Update on Super Snappy GO - our Monopoly Go + Cash Inc mashup made in #PlayCanvas, will go out for testing next week.
