+# Simplified Gaussian Splatting
+
+This example demonstrates a simplified implementation of 2D Gaussian Splatting for educational purposes. It provides a more accessible way to understand the core concepts behind the Gaussian Splatting technique for neural rendering.
+
+## Overview
+
+3D Gaussian Splatting is a novel approach to neural rendering that represents scenes using a collection of 3D Gaussians. This simplified 2D implementation focuses on the fundamental aspects of the technique for readability and ease of understanding.
+
+This example outputs frames to 'tev', similar to other examples.
+
+For an in-depth explanation of the code in this example, refer to the [Neural Graphics in an Afternoon blog post](https://shader-slang.org/blog/2025/04/04/neural-gfx-in-an-afternoon/)
