    1. Go to: https://huggingface.co/spaces
    
    2. Create new Space:
       • Name: nerf-3d-reconstruction
       • SDK: Gradio
       • Visibility: 🔒 PRIVATE ⚠️
       • Hardware: CPU basic (change later)
    
    3. Upload the 5 files listed above
    
    4. Change hardware to: A10G small
       • Settings → Hardware → A10G small
    
    5. Wait for build (~10 minutes)
       • Watch Logs tab
    
    6. Test with video!
       • Processing: 20-45 minutes

    1. Check Logs tab for errors
    2. Read DEPLOYMENT_STEPS.txt troubleshooting
    3. Common fixes:
       • "COLMAP not found" → Re-upload packages.txt
       • "CUDA error" → Check GPU is set (not CPU)
       • "Build timeout" → Try Factory reboot
