StereoSplat+: Single-Stereo 3D Gaussian Splatting for On-Device AR
Extends 3D Gaussian Splatting to work from single stereo pairs instead of multi-view sequences, enabling real-time 3D scene reconstruction on robotics and AR hardware. Directly addresses the on-device deployment constraint that blocks most 3DGS pipelines from production use.
