• Operating System: Windows 10/11 64-bit
• Python: 3.9+
• Node.js: 16+ (for web viewer)
• npm: Latest version
• VR Hardware (optional): Oculus Rift/Quest, HTC Vive, Valve Index
• Minimum RAM: 8GB (16GB recommended)
• Graphics: NVIDIA GTX 1060 / AMD RX 580 or better

1. Clone the repository

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd ArcheonSetup

2. Create and activate conda environment

   conda env create -f archeon.yaml
   conda activate archeon

3. Setup Web Viewer (Required for non-VR viewing)

   cd web_viewer/GaussianSplats3D
   npm install  # If dependencies need to be installed
   npm run demo

   This will start the Gaussian Splats 3D viewer server on http://localhost:8080

4. Run the main application (in a new terminal)

   # Navigate back to project root
   cd ..
   streamlit run Archeon.py

5. Access the web interface

   • Main app: http://localhost:8501
   • Web viewer: http://localhost:8080
   • Log in with your Archeon account credentials

Note: Keep both servers running simultaneously for full functionality. The main Streamlit app handles authentication and file sync, while the web viewer provides browser-based 3D model viewing.

• Download the Archeon mobile app
• Record videos of real-world spaces by walking around them
• Upload directly from the mobile app for cloud processing

• Advanced computer vision algorithms analyze your video
• Gaussian Splats technology creates photorealistic 3D models
• Processing typically takes 15-30 minutes per environment

• Use the desktop app to sync processed models to your computer
• Launch the VR viewer for immersive 6DOF exploration
• Or use the web viewer for non-VR experiences

1. Login: Use your Archeon account credentials
2. Model Sync Tab:
   • View all your processed 3D environments
   • Click "Sync Models" to download to local storage
3. Model Viewer Tab:
   • Launch Viewer: Opens the Unity-based VR application
   • Launch Non-VR Viewer: Opens web viewer in new browser tab
   • Launch embedded Non-VR Viewer: Shows web viewer within the app
4. Help Tab: Documentation and troubleshooting

🕶️ VR Mode (Unity Viewer):

• 6DOF movement and interaction
• Requires VR headset
• Launched via "Launch Viewer" button

🌐 Web Mode (Browser Viewer):

• No VR hardware required
• Mouse and keyboard controls
• Runs at http://localhost:8080
• Accessible via web viewer buttons or direct browser access

The web viewer must be running before using web viewing options:

cd web_viewer/GaussianSplats3D
npm run demo

Keep this terminal open while using the application.

• Movement: Use VR controllers or headset tracking
• Scale: Adjust model size for comfortable viewing
• Lighting: Toggle different lighting modes

• 8GB RAM
• NVIDIA GTX 1060 / AMD RX 580
• 500MB + model storage space

Recommended:

• Intel i7 / AMD Ryzen 7
• 16GB RAM
• NVIDIA RTX 3060 / AMD RX 6600 XT

• Node.js server for serving 3D models
• Modern web browser with WebGL support

External services:

• Firebase Authentication
• Firebase Cloud Storage
• Archeon AI Processing Pipeline

The application connects to Firebase using predefined configuration. For development or custom deployments, modify the firebase_config dictionary in Archeon.py:

firebase_config = {
    "apiKey": "your-api-key",
    "authDomain": "your-project.firebaseapp.com",
    "projectId": "your-project-id",
    # ... other config
}

Models appear distorted:

• Ensure adequate lighting during recording
• Record from multiple angles and positions
• Move slowly and steadily while recording

Sync fails:

• Check internet connection
• Verify sufficient disk space
• Try logging out and back in

VR viewer won't launch:

• Confirm system requirements are met
• Ensure VR headset is properly connected
• Check that all files synced successfully

Web viewer not loading:

• Ensure npm run demo is running from web_viewer/GaussianSplats3D/ directory
• Check that port 8080 is not blocked by firewall
• Verify Node.js and npm are properly installed
• Try refreshing the browser or clearing cache

Web viewer shows blank page:

• Confirm models have been synced to local directory
• Check browser console for JavaScript errors
• Ensure WebGL is enabled in your browser

1. Start the web viewer development server:

   cd web_viewer/GaussianSplats3D
   npm install  # If first time setup
   npm run demo  # Starts the Gaussian Splats 3D demo server

2. Start the main Streamlit application:

   # In a new terminal, from project root
   conda activate archeon
   streamlit run Archeon.py

3. Access development interfaces:

   • Main app: http://localhost:8501
   • Web viewer: http://localhost:8080

The web viewer uses the Gaussian Splats 3D library (@mkkellogg/gaussian-splats-3d) for browser-based 3D model viewing:

• Location: ./web_viewer/GaussianSplats3D/
• Start command: npm run demo
• Technology: Gaussian Splats 3D rendering in WebGL
• Integration: Serves 3D models via HTTP on localhost:8080

1. Fork the repository
