New: A Grid of Photogrammetry Experiments

New: A Grid of Photogrammetry Experiments

Following on from blog/2025-10-15-ply-viewer I’ve added a photogrammetry page to display many of them in a grid.

Next steps / thoughts

  • The grid feels wrong. Since they’re interactive, you generally want to be in fullscreen and spend more time with each. Maybe a carousel or something might work better?
  • You can’t see the image until you click Load. Would be nice to have some baked 2D snapshots to preview before committing to a download.
  • It should show the actual MB size of the capture instead of a hardcoded estimate. (Most are now actually less than 10MB after compression.)
  • Scale, zoom limits, and camera starts are all over the place. I want a tiny debug HUD to dial those in per capture and spit out config.
  • I’ve taken these with Scaniverse, which includes the skyboxes in its own display; the .ply export doesn’t include that. I should figure out how to extract them, or see if switching to .spz would give them to be baked in.

Screenshots for posterity

Screenshots to remember the current state since I’ll probably change the page a lot as I iterate on it.
