Think of this as a LiDAR visualization on steroids... A point cloud of information that can be used to render "The Blob".

But the blobs can change color and opacity depending on direction you are viewing them (spherical harmonics) which allows to encode transparency and specular reflections.

Splats change color based on direction, but opacity is constant.
