This collider needs WebGL 2 and JavaScript. Here are the two Splashes it had loaded: Felted Fox and Burger.

Send this wreck

They get the wreck with no names on it. Two things went in, and they have to turn it to find them.

What came out

Nothing is destroyed. It's all still in there.

A Splash is one object made of hundreds of thousands of soft dots of paint, called splats. When two hit, each splat of each Splash flies out along its own track and lands somewhere new, on a line it can slide along without changing what you see from one spot. So the wreck is a cloud from most places. Stand in the right place, and it's the first Splash, whole. Turn a quarter of the way around, and it's the other.

The two Splashes aren't blended, and no picture is swapped in. It's one cloud in one room, and you are the one moving around it.

Checked: for 20 pairs, 18 of them picked at random, the wreck lined up was drawn beside the same splats put back where they started. Across all 40 views, the two pictures differ by 0.06 of 255 brightness levels on average, and 0.01% of pixels differ by more than 32.

Today's wreck

Two things went in this morning.

A new wreck comes up every day, with no names on it. Turn it until you find them.

Three ways into 3D

The tools that make Splashes from things you already have. Your pictures and videos stay on your device.

  1. 3D Photo

    A depth model guesses relative depth from one photo, not distances in meters.

  2. 3D Video

    A video is a string of photos, and a computer can guess how far away each part of a photo is.

  3. 3D World

    A video is a string of photos from a moving camera.
