Avebury is an amazing neolithic site in southern England comprising stone circles, an avenue and a ditch believed to date from the third millennium BCE (according to Wikipedia). And if you visit, and go to the northeast of the village, just across the road from the Red Lion public house, you’ll find the amazing neolithic stones shown below. And what you see below isn’t just a photo, it’s a whole gaussian splat 3D scan hosted on SuperSplat – so you can navigate around it just by using your mouse or touchscreen (click here for the SuperSplat page).
The gaussian splat was created by Kiri Engine using reframed and dewarped footage from 8k Insta360 video taken with an X4 camera. Due to filming the video from ground level with a selfie stick the splat is best viewed from low level. It isn’t downloadable but is made available on SuperSplat for general viewing in the hope you will go and visit this amazing neolithic site. And, of course, to hopefully inspire more people to start making and sharing gaussian splats.
Avebury is lovingly managed by the National Trust and is a World Heritage Site located near other important monuments such as West Kennet Long Barrow, Silbury Hill and Stonehenge. You can visit the National Trust website for more information about visiting Avebury.
