I'm not sure why, but my brain always gives a strong "this is not real" alert with Gaussian splats. Something about the lighting is really off for me.

And whenever I see videos explaining the Gaussian splats, they always claim they are supposed to fix lighting issues.

Is this a function of "not enough detail" or.. Something else?

I think it's probably more like an "incorrect" focal length for what you'd expect. And it's kind of hard to know what you'd expect because you don't typically have arbitrary spatial control over your point-of-view, so some POVs you're used to only seeing through cameras (or even certain types of cameras), while others you're mostly used to seeing through your own eyes.

I imagine all of this will get better though.

Interesting, thanks for the reply.
