Museums could 3D scan their entire collections, capturing high-quality scans of artifacts and exhibits that can be shared with a global audience. This technology also enables the preservation of monuments at risk of being lost forever, allowing people to explore and learn from these cultural features remotely. Moreover, education can be enhanced by introducing more active learning methods based on working in 3D, which differing methods of constructing [radiance fields](https://www.reedbeta.com/blog/the-radiance-field/) make simpler. -Techniques such as NeRF, [MIP-NeRF](https://arxiv.org/abs/2103.13415), [3D Gaussian Splatting](https://arxiv.org/abs/2308.04079), and others demonstrate a fast and simpler method of 3D scanning compared to traditional laser or projection scanning. These methods are not considered "production-ready." These models are made up of very dense "point clouds" that cannot easily be translated into CAD. Supplementary software is getting better, but laser and projection scanning are still the best for high-accuracy work. +Techniques such as [NeRF](https://arxiv.org/abs/2003.08934), [MIP-NeRF](https://arxiv.org/abs/2103.13415), [3D Gaussian Splatting](https://arxiv.org/abs/2308.04079), and others demonstrate a fast and simpler method of 3D scanning compared to traditional laser or projection scanning.

Supplementary software is getting better, but laser and projection scanning are still the best for high-accuracy work. 3D guassian spatting has been a new focus of research. You can use an entirely software-defined approach to create very light (the below model is 6 MB) and high-quality 3D models. With [polygon-based](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygonal_modeling) models, you would have never been able to get this amount of accuracy in a 3D model that can run on a phone.
