 ### Navigation in SIBR Viewers
 The SIBR interface provides several methods of navigating the scene. By default, you will be started with an FPS navigator, which you can control with ```W, A, S, D, Q, E``` for camera translation and ```I, K, J, L, U, O``` for rotation. Alternatively, you may want to use a Trackball-style navigator (select from the floating menu). You can also snap to a camera from the data set with the ```Snap to``` button or find the closest camera with ```Snap to closest```. The floating menues also allow you to change the navigation speed. You can use the ```Scaling Modifier``` to control the size of the displayed Gaussians, or show the initial point cloud.

-Our rasterization requires a SIMPLE_PINHOLE or PINHOLE camera model for COLMAP data. We provide a converter script ```convert.py```, to extract undistorted images and SfM information. Optionally, you can use ImageMagick to resize the undistorted images. This rescaling is similar to MipNeRF360, i.e., it creates images with 1/2, 1/4 and 1/8 the original resolution in corresponding folders. To use them, please first install a recent version of COLMAP (ideally CUDA-powered) and ImageMagick. Put the images you want to use in a directory ```<location>/input```.
+Our COLMAP loaders expect the following dataset structure in the source path location:
+
+```
+<location>
+|---images
+|   |---<image 0>
+|   |---<image 1>
+|   |---...
