How to Build with Gaussian Splats Across World Labs, Web, Unity & Unreal
We'll show you most practical ways to build with Gaussian splats today.
🌍 World Labs Marble: Generate, edit, and customize 3D worlds from text, images, and video, and show real-world examples of implementation
🔍 Splat Analyzer: Get 3D bounding boxes on splats in <1 minute and turn splats into interactive scenes
🚀 World Model Kits: Three ready-to-use pipelines for Web, Unity, and Unreal you can follow step by step
You'll learn how to:
Create and edit 3D worlds with Marble
Run detection on splats to add interactivity
Deploy splat worlds into WebXR, Unity, and Unreal
This workshop is the perfect preparation for the Worlds in Action Hack in LA, just before SIGGRAPH:

Speakers:
👤 Ian Curtis is a product designer and creative technologist working at the intersection of design, engineering, and AI. With a background in architecture, he brings a spatial and systems-based perspective to immersive technology. At World Labs, he prototypes tools, interfaces, and experiences that blend the virtual and physical worlds - including Marble, World Labs' world generation platform.
👤 Nigel Hartman combines software engineering, artificial intelligence (AI), and extended reality (XR) to create cutting-edge digital experiences. With years of experience at Deutsche Telekom and a background in bioinformatics, he bridges scientific insight with real-world development. As a Snap Spectacles Developer and founder of a tech-focused company, he is actively pushing the boundaries of immersive AI applications. Nigel has won multiple XR hackathons, including the Snap Spectacles Community Challenge, and continues to explore how AI can enhance spatial computing.
About:
World Labs is building frontier systems for generating and understanding 3D worlds. Its core platform, Marble, lets users create and edit persistent 3D environments from text, images, and video, then refine and export them into real production workflows. The goal is to turn spatial intelligence into a new creative medium for storytelling, simulation, design, and interactive applications - bridging generative AI and the physical world.
SensAI Hackademy gives you early access to devkits, wearables, and expert-led courses. Join our community and team up with top spatial, AI, CV, world model, and mobile developers in year-round online and in-person hackathons and events. We bring together leading engineers, researchers, and creators to collaborate, learn, and push the boundaries of wearable technologies - accelerating the future of immersive, intelligent experiences.
