While the 32-byte .splat format is straightforward to parse, it lacks spatial organization and multi-resolution LOD support. Large scenes require downloading the entire binary payload before anything can be displayed.
Converting .splat into PlayCanvas SOG reorders the Gaussians into a multi-resolution spatial tree, allowing your web page to render a preview instantly while streaming finer details in the background.
