This paper is the actual goat not just the goat

[cocccix]

I really love when the most amazing papers don't use neural networks

[darrylkid]

This is why explainability in AI is so important. Let AI do the tedious exploration of solution space, it explains what it's doing, and then we can work with what it found and modify the solution however we want.

[ENDESGA]

Can't believe it has no neural components! Just proof that we humans still have the advantage, but one day that may change 😅

[Something]

Would love to experience this level of detail in VR.

[mikehibbett]

I love your use of the phrase "just one more paper down the line". So true.

[hemant]

this paper is just lit. imagine it being used in future games. crazy times ahead everyone.

[Wobbotherd]

This is even more amazing than the average mind blowing break throughs on this chanbel.

[MrtnX]

Those thin structures were impossible to even scan a few years ago. What a time to be alive and be able to witness the advances that we achieve just by pushing further.

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:

00:53 🏞️ New technique for real-time rendering of virtual worlds promises over 10x faster rendering than previous methods, addressing thin structure challenges.
01:52 🎮 The new technique offers both faster rendering and higher quality results compared to NVIDIA's Instant NERF technique, surprising with its superior performance.
02:49 🖥️ This breakthrough method is not a NERF variant and doesn't rely on neural networks; it's a handcrafted computer graphics technique with innovative ideas.
03:14 🌊 The technique uses a 3D Gaussian splatting approach to represent objects as a sum of waves, enabling efficient rendering on 2D screens while conserving computation around solid objects.
04:40 🎨 The algorithm focuses on scene primitives rather than pixels, drawing from a long-standing concept in computer graphics, resulting in a fast yet high-quality rendering solution.

It’s pretty impressive that we get better speed without sacrificing quality. Amazing work!

[sliter]

"quite a bit of memory" is a nice and understandable value

[Metazolid]

This is actually really impressive, also glad to see how much potential there still is to be gained from non-AI research. I feel like most recent papers were largely based on machine learning.

[GL-GildedLining]

Sublime! The amount of progress that's been made in just a year or two feels _unreal._ Looks like the Singularity is right on-schedule!

[adamfilipowicz]

Love the endless advancement, hope this new technique can output 3D mesh data

[JealusJelly]

5:10 can't that be fixed somehow by combining it with ray tracing as like the next step of rendering a scene?

It's incredible. I never thought things would advance so quickly, I'm starting to believe we might see actual AR and VR games before the end of the decade even.

[GoldBearanimationsYT]

I was impressed a year ago and now wow

[justluke]

Does anybody else think that the Professor used an AI voice clone to do the sponsor segment? To me it seemed less express or and I think there were some audible artifacts.

[shApYT]

This is ground breaking! This is what I subbed to this channel for.

[JorgetePanete]

No longer "It's NeRF or nothing" 😮‍💨
