LiveSplat is a system for turning RGBD camera streams into Gaussian splat scenes in real-time. The system works by passing all the RGBD frames into a feed forward neural net that outputs the current scene as Gaussian splats. These splats are then rendered in real-time. I've put together a demo video at the link above.

Please excuse my naive question - isn't Gaussian Splatting usually used to create 3D imagery from 2D? How does providing 3D input data make sense in this context?

Well if you have the D channel you might as well benefit from it and have better output
