"NeRF: Transforming Eye Reflections into 3D Room Models"

Researchers at the University of Maryland have developed a method to reconstruct and render 3D scenes by capturing and analyzing the reflections off a person's eyes. Using a specially trained AI visual rendering algorithm called NeRF, the team was able to extract a three-dimensional model of the surroundings from the reflected light. By removing iris artifacts and exploiting cornea geometry, the method effectively reconstructed scenes from multiple images. The technique was tested on human eyes as well as eye reflections from music videos, demonstrating its potential for capturing the observer's perspective in various scenarios.

Unreal Engine brings Habitat 67's original vision to life after 56 years.

Neoscape and Safdie Architects have released Hillside Sample Project, a virtual rendition of Moshe Safdie's original vision for Montreal's brutalist Habitat 67 housing complex using Unreal Engine. The interactive models let you either roam freely or have Safdie guide you through the project with narration at key points. This illustrates the potential for real-time 3D renditions of architectural work.

"Google Maps introduces Immersive View for virtual trip visualization"

Google Maps is introducing "Immersive View for routes" which uses computer vision and AI to create a 3D rendering of a user's route to a location, allowing them to preview it before heading out. The feature will show weather, car accidents, and more, but cannot account for new information that happens en route. It will be available on mobile for 15 cities including San Francisco, New York City, and Paris in the next few months.
