Carvatar

WhipSnap's mission is to empower car enthusiasts to share and experience exotic, custom and rare cars through true-to-life, 3D digital representations - Carvatars. Offering the next best thing to a car meet huddle in real life.

WhipSnap chose LLUME as their technology partners to design and develop a full end-to-end MVP solution.

Carvatars are 3D representations of users actual cars and therefore, incumbent 3D scanning techniques would not suffice. We knew that Gaussian Splatting would be a perfect as it's fast and captures transparent and shiny surfaces particular well when compared with Photogrammetry, LiDAR and NeRFs.

• Convert raw phone scan videos into high-fidelity 3D scenes
• Make it mobile-first and intuitive for non-technical users
• Clean up noisy scan data
• Deliver something impressive - fast

LLUME partnered with Carvatar to design and build a powerful MVP from the ground up. Our work included:

• Mobile-first UI/UX - Designed an intuitive app to guide users through scanning and viewing
• 3D backend pipeline - Built custom tools to convert videos into Gaussian Splatting 3D scenes
• 3D viewer - Integrated, performant viewer to view Carvatars
• Product strategy - Defined the product roadmap and technical vision
• End-to-end documentation - Empowering WhipSnap for future development
• Nvidia GPU processing - Accelerated processing by incorporating CUDA-enabled GPUs
• Microsoft Azure infrastructure - Architected using highly scalable, affordable and widely available Azure services

WhipSnap used the MVP to garner strong interest from high-end car showrooms and secure 100% funding in their current investment round.

The technology we developed proved its value - and has become the foundation for the next iteration of product development.

LLUME will continue to support WhipSnap as they scale their team and expand product features.
