NVIDIA Instant NeRF tech converts 2D photos into 3D scenes in the ‘blink of an AI’

We all know that a traditional camera captures a 3D scene into a 2D image. What about the reverse? Is there a way to convert 2D images into a realistic 3D scene? AI engineers with NVIDIA Research are working on inverse rendering, which is a process that uses artificial intelligence to approximate how light behaves and then reconstruct a 3D scene from a ‘handful of 2D images taken at different angles. ‘ The NVIDIA Research team says that it has developed an approach to perform this task almost instantly.
