Neural Radiance Fields, or NeRFs, allow us to re-create 3D scenes using a set of input images with the help of AI/ML. NeRFs are becoming increasingly more popular in use with many apps available utilizing the technology. In this special presentation, we will learn about what NeRFs are and how they can be utilized by the XR industry.

He will be covering key tips to help you compile and explain how to capture good input imagery, walking through the GUI interface and explaining how to optimize your scene parameters. Jonathan will show us how NeRFs can be used in XR and how to optimize your NeRFs for VR and AR.

Our evening is an opportunity to learn, connect and engage with professionals facilitated by the VRARA, the world's largest VR/AR association.
