One Network, Many Scenes: Combining NeRF with VAE to generate 3D scenes

To reconstruct the 3D world behind a set of 2D images, machine learning systems usually require a dedicated neural network for each scene. New research enables a single trained network to generate 3D reconstructions of multiple scenes.

3D Scene Synthesis for the Real World: Generating 3D scenes with radiance fields and image data

Researchers have used neural networks to generate novel views of a 3D scene based on existing pictures plus the positions and angles of the cameras that took them. In practice, though, you may not know the precise camera

Virtual Reality in Real Time: FastNeRF renders 3D scenes at 200 frames per second.

Ideally, real-time 3D applications such as virtual and augmented reality transition smoothly between different viewpoints of a scene — but generating a fresh perspective can take time. New research speeds the process.
