What this video covers
Mads and Ava use the Antigravity A1 360 drone and Gaussian splatting to create a photorealistic 3D rendering of their newly acquired property at Alligator Creek, preserving its appearance at the moment they received the keys.▶ 0:32 The A1 weighs 249 grams, captures 8K 360 footage, and uses FPV goggles rather than a screen-based controller — the camera follows head movement, and a double-tap button on the goggles switches to a passthrough view of the real world.▶ 2:20 A built-in flight simulator requires only the goggles and powered-off controller; Mads spent about 20 minutes in it before flying confidently.▶ 3:58 Standard battery gives roughly 20 minutes of flight; a high-capacity battery extends that to around 39 minutes but pushes the drone above the 249-gram regulatory threshold.▶ 8:41 For the Gaussian splatting capture, Mads flies a lawnmower grid pattern below 5 m/s and uses the SkyGenie orbit mode to circle the house automatically, shooting on an overcast day to avoid harsh shadows.▶ 8:10 Footage is processed in Mipmap — free tier limited to 500 frames, reconstruction quality set to ultra high — and the resulting gs.ply file is cleaned up in the free browser tool Supersplat before sharing.▶ 10:25
