For those curious like me, NeRFs are Neural Radiance Fields: https://www.matthewtancik.com/nerf

Funny, I just discovered that a few days ago while listening to the engineers talk at Tesla’s AI Day. They mentioned it (I think for their occupancy stuff), I didn’t know what it was and found the same site.

I am extremely excited for this technology to mature to a point where realtime novel view synthesis becomes possible. The idea of being able to take a few photographs and be able to recreate an appreciably decent 6DOF viewing experience is a very powerful enabling technology.

Nerfstudio looks like something that is finally accessible enough that I will be able to start experimenting without having to spend enormous amounts of effort on tooling. Can't wait to check it out! It looks like some of the processing pipelines might be a good fit for merging with WebODM to make it even more friendly to work with.

If you're going to make an app like this, at least use electron or something similar and create an integrated package instead of relying on a python UI over a bunch of command line tools. Also how does it compare to Nvidia Instant Nerf (performance etc)?

electron is a literal ecological disaster because of how much CPU and RAM JavaScript runtimes use. How many chunks of coal have been burned just to keep Electron going when a faster language would have used less CPU time for the millions of users who use Electron apps?
