Website corrections required before campaign use
The site at https://open4dfoundation.github.io/ should not be a primary
campaign destination until it reflects the current repository.
High-risk mismatches
python examples/play_mesh_o4d.py does not exist. The current viewer is
examples/visualization/visualize_sequence.py.
- The site describes
.o4d, open4d.io, open4d.metrics, stable public APIs,
writers, and tools that the implementation-status page explicitly marks as
unimplemented roadmap work.
- “From clone to playback in three commands” omits the
[player] extra and a
real input path.
- The site presents integrated, reproducible codec modules and benchmarks more
strongly than the repository audit supports.
- It calls April 2026 a core API release and June 2026 an N4MC/TSMC integration,
while the current audit says the codecs remain mostly isolated from the
shared model.
- It encourages installation without the repository's redistribution and
third-party provenance warning.
Safe replacement claims
- “Research workspace for time-varying 3D geometry.”
- “Under active development; shared interfaces are evolving.”
- “Includes a lightweight temporal geometry core, examples/viewers, adapters,
and independent codec and reconstruction research pipelines.”
- “Clone from source and use the versioned handbook for verified status.”
Safe quickstart
git clone https://github.com/open4dfoundation/Open4D.git
cd Open4D
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install -e '.[player]'
python examples/visualization/visualize_sequence.py path/to/frames --info
The campaign should switch its primary destination to the website only after
these claims and commands are corrected and tested.
