Some expected features for V2 are:

• Video Streaming/Collection demo for iPhones
• Adaptive Iterations of Optimization
• Improvement in the quality of iPhone reconstruction
• Potentially support & testing for outdoor scans

Hi, thanks for sharing this amazing work. I am curious about the upcoming SplaTAM v2. Will it be an enhancement based on a new paper, or it is to represent the official implementation aligned with the performance metrics reported in the current SpanTAM paper?

[Nik-V9]

Hi, Thanks for your query! The current code reflects the performance metrics reported in the paper.

SplaTAM V2 is expected to be a further refinement of the current paper and code, where we aim to increase both the speed and performance.

Hi, Thanks for the interest! It's amazing to see so much impressive follow-up work.

Given how fast follow-up work has progressed, we are holding back updates on SplaTAM for follow-up work. The new timeline should be sometime around November.
