Gaussian Splatting meets psychotherapy - is my approach possible?
Hi!
I’m a cognitive behavioral psychotherapist working with VR exposure therapy for anxiety disorders since 2019. Until now I created custom 360° exposure videos for treatment purposes. I'm following this sub for quite a while now as I see a lot of potential in gaussian splatting for this matter but I have never tried a workflow myself.
My current Goal:
Create a VR exposure scene for emetophobia (fear of vomiting):
real 360° bathroom environment (just regular 360 capture or maybe a gaussian splat?)
AI-generated person vomiting into a toilet (no gore)
exported as a VR-compatible 360° video/ splat
viewed on Meta Quest 3 and/or HP Reverb G2
Current setup:
Hardware
Insta360 X4
MSI Raider A18 HX A9WIG-080 (Amd processor, nvidia 5080, 64GB Ram)
Quest 3
HP Reverb G2
Software
Adobe Premiere Pro / Insta 360 Studio
Maybe:
klingai.com?
runwayml.com?
Planned workflow:
Record a real 360° bathroom scene with the Insta360 X4
Generate the vomiting person using AI video tools
Remove the AI video background
Composite the AI character into the 360° footage in Premiere Pro using VR Plane to Sphere
Export as a VR-ready 360° video/splat for Quest 3 / PCVR
My question:
Does this workflow seem solid enough? Is it even possible to put an animated person into a gaussian splat - or are there better approaches currently available?
I'd be happy for any advice!
