This media art piece reconstructs a 3D environment from a single panoramic image using 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) and places a 3D avatar within it to create an interactive digital performance.
Addressing the limitations of conventional previsualization - which requires multiple cameras, precise calibration, and complex data acquisition - this work enables visualization and avatar animation from various camera angles within a reconstructed 3D scene. It allows creators to perform immersive and immediate scene simulations without the constraints of traditional production setups.

Hojoon Jung is a researcher specializing in 3D computer vision and computer graphics. His work focuses on precise surface reconstruction by integrating the recent paradigm of 3D Gaussian Splatting with signed distance function (SDF)-based reconstruction. This line of research serves as a core enabling technology for image-based 3D reconstruction and offers broad applicability across diverse domains beyond a single application.
