Switzerland has this raw material nationwide: swisstopo scanned the whole country by airborne LiDAR from 2017 to 2023, at 15–20 points per m² on average, available nationwide since 2024. Point clouds like these are exactly the input for 3D reconstructions like this. #LiDAR

Das Rohmaterial dafür hat die Schweiz flächendeckend: swisstopo hat das ganze Land von 2017 bis 2023 per Flugzeug-LiDAR gescannt, im Mittel 15–20 Punkte pro m², seit 2024 schweizweit verfügbar. Genau solche Punktwolken sind die Basis für 3D-Rekonstruktionen wie diese. #LiDAR

Details: Google says it dropped raw LiDAR scans and archives of Chaco Canyon (New Mexico) into its Antigravity app, then used Gemini 4 Argon plus Blender to rebuild it as an explorable 3D heritage site.

google turned raw lidar scans and archives of chaco canyon into a 3d site you can click through with gemini 4 argon, antigravity and blender mcp. the comparison i care about is what the same model did in two other google showcase posts.
chaco: a webpage with clickable rooms, historical context and a solar dial modeled on the solstice and equinox alignments. @thtbee_: a full animated physics ui kit from one line. @GeokenAI: a green screen backdrop built in blender in 15 minutes.
my arithmetic: the follow-up showing the interactive result has 11K views vs 42.6K on the video, about 26% (11 / 42.6). different posting times, so rough.
where it could apply:
1. heritage or museum pages with room-by-room context
2. game-level blockouts from real scans
3. agent-built blender scenes as video backgrounds
caveat: vendor demo. nothing says how much hand cleanup the mesh needed or how the alignments were checked, and replies are asking exactly that.

me encanta que para tratar de demostrar que la IA sirve para algo están haciendo cosas que nadie quiere hacer
