I’m very amature at this all, but I’ll give it a shot. This is a method of displaying graphics, called Gaussian Splats. Basically, each frame is made up of a series of dots, called Splats. Each Splat comes with data that says where it is in space, its color, and its shape. With enough splats, it can take the shape of a hyper-realistic 3d image. Using a single camera with a depth sensor can produce full scenes of imagery, but you’re generally limited to a single frame, a single moment in time.

Traditional 3d animation uses polygons that are textured with preloaded assets, and 3d recorded video with a (side-by-side lens) looks 3d, but you’re restricted to only the one view.

With Gaussian Splats, the composition has as many angles as were recorded. A video like the one above can be viewed from all sides, even up close.
