Not to belittle this or anything (it does look good and show promise), it feels like they somehow generate several consistent (but discrete) views of a given world, then feed all that to the good old pose estimation + gaussian splatting workflow. Whenever you leave the generated area (which isn't exactly huge on the few I tested) you get tell-tale signs of GS.

This, but with something oddly french about it, at least in the way it sounds.
As a native french speaker, no other language gives me that "why don't I understand what they say... oh, right, that's not my language!" feeling. Something with frequencies used, I suppose, but it always puzzles me.

Sounds fair, though I had hopes for such a client (at least something to just check out on the virtual world state without spinning up a whole desktop client).
Since you seem rather active with the project, do you know whether openxr is on the roadmap, or if you're stuck with openvr for the foreseeable future?

As I've been told long enough "be strict in what you give, be liberal in what you accept". We're all welcome to apply (arbitrary) strict rules to what we say, but we ought to live with the fact not every does (or, anyway, have the same set of rules to start with)
