AI-powered image synthesis has achieved results that would have been unimaginable just a few years ago — and there is much more to come. Introduced in a 2020 ECCV paper, Neural radiance fields (NeRF) use deep neural networks to model and render entire 3D scenes based on 2D images — a technique that will supercharge virtual and augmented reality applications. Current NeRF rendering processes via volumetric grids that store information on voxels however incu
