The app can now use real or rendered images - from smartphones, game screenshots, and design applications - to create a virtual reality scene.
NVIDIA’s Instant NeRF, a rendering tool that turns a set of static 2D images into realistic 3D scenes, has been updated to bring 3D creations to VR, allowing for the use of real or rendered images - from smartphones, game screenshots, and design applications - for the creation of a 3D/VR space.
The update, highlighted in NVIDIA’s “Technical Blog,” makes it possible to navigate Instant NeRF in VR and step into 3D creations. In addition, users can use advanced rendering techniques, including foveation, dynamic scaling, NVIDIA DLSS, and, optionally, a second GPU, to achieve desired frame rates and resolution targets.
Instant NeRF uses an AI-based technology called neural radiance fields (NeRF), reducing the time traditionally needed to create 3D and virtual scenes. Additionally, the app cleans up VR scenes and offers precompiled executables, making NeRF creation more intuitive and easily accessible to more people. With headsets, users can transport into the immersive VR environment, opening up new possibilities for use across industries.
Check out the blog post for additional information and resources and to download the source code or a precompiled executable to explore NVIDIA Instant NeRF in VR.
