At AWE Asia 2024, I joined Niantic's presence to introduce 8th Wall to the APAC developer community. My focus was on how creators can use 8th Wall to build location-based AR experiences enhanced with Gaussian Splats — a novel approach to capturing real-world spaces with photorealistic point clouds.

Through demos and conversations, I showcased how Gaussian Splats could be integrated into 8th Wall workflows, helping developers design richer, more immersive spatial experiences.
Niantic took home the 2025 Auggie Award for Best in Show. In Singaporean fashion, we carried it back to our hotel in a plastic bag.
