Generating 3D scenes from 2D images more efficiently – Mobile NeRF rendering using Vulkan on Adreno GPU

Co-written with Aleksandra Krstic, Alex Bourd and Shuaib Arshad.

Suppose you came home from vacation with a few dozen photos from different perspectives of the Eiffel Tower or the Taj Mahal or Michelangelo’s David. What if you wanted to “walk” around them again, if only virtually?

A common XR technique is to use multi-viewport for viewports and scissor out different regions of each eye, but multi-viewport ignores clears and is incompatible with other XR extensions. It can also prevent foveation and slow down the rendering work.
