### 1/5 — Poor performance. Non-intuitive controls.

*2026-06-24*

Very disappointed that it can't handle medium or large splats. Crashes easily and controls are far from intuitive. MetalSplatter does a much better job. I had hoped that the price would mean superior performance. I was wrong.

### 1/5 — Can’t handle large splats

*2026-05-17*

Tried to open a large splat (500MB) and the app crashes. For this price I expect things to work at least. Opened same splat in MetalSplatter and it does not crash. Disappointed

### 3/5 — Keeps missing the mark.

*2026-05-07*

There are splats that I can view on my phone or Mac, but when I send them to the Apple TV it just crashes. Navigation controls are improved but still non-standard and non-intuitive. Using scene based controls sometimes I tap the screen wheel. Sometimes the same gesture allows me to pivot in place. There are free tools that do a better job. But since I paid for this I am hoping the developer will continue to improve it.

### 3/5 — Navigation Nightmare

*2026-02-10*

It's very difficult to navigate through a splat. It seems to want to rotate about some arbitrary fixed point, but if you have a splat of a room or outdoor space it's very difficult to move around and experience it. Can we get a walk mode where the horizon stays level?

## Frequently asked questions about spatial fields

### What file formats does spatial fields support?

Spatial Fields supports PLY, SPZ, and LCC file formats for importing and viewing your 3D Gaussian Splats. This allows for broad compatibility with various 3D scanning and creation tools.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.0 — 2026-05-05

- Supports the import of 3DGUT USDZ files
- Improved dynamic LOD performance for LCC imports
- Supports larger captures in AR mode

### 1.2.1 — 2026-02-04

Addresses issue with LCC exports not loading due to meta.lcc file name

### 1.2.0 — 2026-01-27

Performance improvements
    - Frustum culling (activate in settings) - only draws splats that are visible 
    - GPU Render Path - cull, sort and render using the GPU only. This removes the flashes of un-sorted content that show up with CPU sorting. Recommended on newer M-series hardware.
    - Shader dynamic LOD: intelligently applies spherical harmonics and other compute-heavy calculations in less important areas
    - On-demand rendering on macOS, iOS and tvOS; only renders when the camera view changes saving energy usage and allowing for lower device temperatures

XGRIDS LCC support
    - Load LCC exports with all LOD / quality levels
    - Streaming LOD levels allows compute-constrained devices like iPhone and Apple Vision Pro to load high quality tiles where you're looking and lower quality tiles in other places allowing for much higher quality captures to be viewed on these devices. 
    - Loads metadata from the capture showing which XGRIDS device was used to create the capture 

Load your captures on Apple TV
    - Allows you to send the splat you are viewing on iPhone / iPad or Vision Pro to the Apple TV for group viewing. The capture will be mirrored onto the TV with any rotations applied in real time on the TV. Previously you could only load gallery splats provided by us, now any PLY or SPZ being viewed on iOS or visionOS can be transferred for viewing on the Apple TV.

### 1.1.0 — 2025-10-14

- More responsive navigation controls for larger scenes
- Improved color accuracy / HDR mode
- Fix for PLY file import error
- Bug fixes

### 1.0 — 2025-09-30

No release notes.
