Splash is a Berlin-based startup developing a free iOS application that records a user’s surroundings in real time and turns them into immersive 360° videos and photos. Its proprietary capture technology, dubbed “videopainting,” lets users simply wave their phone to map their environment, removing the need for additional editing or specialized hardware. Finished ‘splashes’ are viewable directly on smartphones and can be shared privately or publicly, with interactive social VR features such as in-splash liking and commenting. The product is positioned at the intersection of mobile content creation and virtual reality, aiming to make 360° media as easy to publish as traditional photos or videos. While the company has not disclosed user or revenue figures, it recently secured $2.5 million in venture funding to accelerate product development and community growth. Splash’s advisory board includes experienced executives from Spotify, Google, YouTube, and Facebook, underscoring its ambition to scale the platform.
