Honored to give a talk at a tech event in Japan 🇯🇵 I’ll present our work on Neural Gabor Splatting. #GPU_UNITE

Honored to be featured in Graphics Programming Weekly by @jendrikillner ! Really appreciate the feature — thanks for sharing!

@pc_desgn Thanks for the suggestion! We haven’t explored integration with platforms like LightField Studio or SuperSplat yet, but that’s a very interesting direction. Making this more accessible in real pipelines is something we’d love to explore.

@HeartWatanabe20 have you tried reaching out to the main platforms for training, distributing and viewing 3DGS content to get this into mainstream pipelines? It looks really promising! I'm thinking about LichtFeld Studio and SuperSplat mainly.

Gaussian Splatting struggles with high-frequency details. Our #CVPR2026 paper “Neural Gabor Splatting” is out! By augmenting each Gaussian with an MLP that models high-frequency signals, we significantly improve reconstruction quality with fewer primitives.

@Izard_of_Widd Thanks! Glad to see the interest in this line of work :)

@HeartWatanabe20 nice, I remember when the first gabor splatting paper came out - thought maybe it wasn't going to see a follow-up

@brubbleR Haha, let's see :)

@HeartWatanabe20 Now let's see Paul Allen's Gaussian Splatting model.

ラボで修士を卒業したばかりの@HeartWatanabe20 さんのNeural Gabor SplattingがCVPR2026に採択されました。去年のMIRUで議論させて頂いたGabor Splattingの進化版。SIREN(サイン波活性化関数)を使ってGaborノイズをNeuralに拡張＋View方向依存の色を入れて更に表現力向上　haatowatanabe.com/projects/neura…

I have completed my M.S. at the University of Tokyo. I received the Dean’s Award (awarded to the top student in the department for research excellence) and was selected as the representative master’s student at the graduation ceremony held at Yasuda Auditorium. Grateful.

The award trophy. Truly honored.

Honored to receive the Best Communications Award at SIGGRAPH Asia 2025. Many thanks to Yuting Ye, Junyong Noh, and the Technical Communications committee, and to everyone who shared valuable advice and feedback. #SIGGRAPHAsia2025 #SATechComms
