Amsterdam – September 18, 2026 -- Spatial intelligence firm XGRIDS is demonstrating a live pipeline that converts physical film sets into navigable 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) environments inside Unreal Engine at IBC 2026, RAI Amsterdam, cutting the reconstruction time traditionally required for virtual production.
