Support for SPZ format Gaussians
Would love to request native support for the .spz format for Gaussian Splats in Lens Studio in addition to .ply. SPZ is rapidly becoming an emerging industry standard with platforms and tools like Niantic Scanniverse and Marble Worlds adopting it for more optimized storage, faster loading, and better streaming workflows. Native SPZ support inside Lens Studio would greatly improve interoperability, reduce conversion friction, and make it much easier for creators to bring real world Gaussian captures directly into Spectacles and SnapAR experiences

Native SPZ import would remove a conversion step, but matching the existing PLY workflow matters too: preserve the splat’s orientation, scale, and appearance, and make errors from unsupported or malformed files clear in the importer. That would make it practical for creators to bring captures straight into a Lens.
