Used NeRF to make a "Bullet Time" effect for a friend's wedding.
We set up 15 iPhones to capture slow-motion video, then used Instant-NGP to train a bunch of NeRFs on the frames.
..need to work on improving the quality / resolution a bit more.

thrilled our preliminary research on #generativeai in #vr was accepted into #neurips2022
here is a bare-bones "holodeck" #3d implementation real-time in #unity. spoken user commands are compiled at runtime. 3d objects are created, loaded and manipulated via 's gpt-3.

I created a GPT3-powered Gmail account to which he sends a message. It responds with the text to send to the client.
