arXiv:2603.09632v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has emerged as a powerful technique for novel view synthesis, subsequently extending into numerous spatial AI applications. However, most existing 3DGS methods operate in isolation, focusing on specific domains. In this paper, we introduce X-GS, an extensible framework consisting of two major components. The X-GS-Perceiver unifies a broad range of 3DGS techniques to enable real-time online SLAM with semantic distillation. The X-GS-Thinker accommodates multimodal models, enabling them to seamlessly interface
The rapid advancement of 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has created a need for extensible frameworks that integrate various techniques with advanced AI capabilities for real-world applications.
This framework significantly advances the integration of 3D spatial perception with AI reasoning, paving the way for more autonomous and intelligent systems capable of understanding and interacting with complex environments.
Current isolated 3DGS methods are converged into a unified framework supporting real-time SLAM with semantic distillation, and multimodal AI model interfacing, bridging the gap between perception and thinking in spatial AI.
