The world of 3D photos is vast: people in over 100 countries have contributed, collectively creating the world’s largest library of 3D Gaussian splats. Our community members (that’s you!) have narrowed down the most viewed 3D photos of the year.
Here they are:
1. Morikawa Park - Ginowan City, Okinawa, Japan. The River of Mori, where the legend of Hagoromo took place, famously flows through this park.
2. Counterpoint by Dennis Smith 1979 - Salt Lake City, UT, USA. This joyful statue in downtown Salt Lake City showcases a loving moment between a mother and her daughter.
3. Yayoi Kusama: Aspiring to Pumpkin’s Love, the Love in My Heart - San Francisco, CA, USA. This artist transforms a simple pumpkin into a joyful emblem of peace and spiritual balance at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
4. Delicious sushi - Atamishi, Shizuoka, Japan. This list wouldn’t be complete without a mouth-watering scan of either sushi or ramen, a very popular theme for our scanners. Check out this platter from Atamishi!
5. Edinburgh Castle statue - Edinburgh, Scotland. This castle, built on an extinct volcano, has been home to Scotland's Crown Jewels and the Stone of Destiny for over a thousand years.
