• Abstract: Neural radiance field (NeRF), in particular its extension by instant neural graphics primitives, is a novel rendering method for view synthesis that uses real-world images to build photo-realistic immersive virtual scenes. Despite its potential, research on the combination of NeRF and virtual reality (VR) remains sparse. Currently, there is no integration into typical VR systems available, and the performance and suitability of NeRF implementations for VR have not been evaluated, for instance, for different scene complexities or screen resolutions. In this paper, we present and evaluate a NeRF-based framework that is capable of rendering scenes in immersive VR allowing users to freely move their heads to explore complex real-world scenes. We evaluate our framework by benchmarking three different NeRF scenes concerning their rendering performance at different scene complexities and resolutions. Utilizing super-resolution, our approach can yield a frame rate of 30 frames per second with a resolution of 1280x720 pixels per eye. We discuss potential applications of our framework and provide an open source implementation online.

  High-performance demands of virtual reality systems present challenges in utilizing fast-to-render scene representations like 3DGS. We propose foveated rendering as a promising solution to these obstacles. Our approach introduces a novel foveated rendering approach for Virtual Reality, that leverages the sharp, detailed output of neural point rendering for the foveal region, fused with a smooth rendering of 3DGS for the peripheral vision.

  We explore how to leverage neural fields (NeRFs) to build interactive 3D environments from large-scale visual captures spanning buildings or even multiple city blocks collected primarily from drone data. In contrast to the single object scenes against which NeRFs have been traditionally evaluated, this setting poses multiple challenges. We introduce a simple clustering algorithm that partitions training images (or rather pixels) into different NeRF submodules that can be trained in parallel.

This enables view synthesis and localization of video sequences from unknown camera poses, opening up new avenues for visual localization systems.
