Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) is a term from the categories of artificial intelligence, virtual and augmented reality and digital transformation. NeRF is a modern technology that uses artificial intelligence to reconstruct three-dimensional (3D) scenes from normal photos. Imagine taking several pictures of an object or a room from different angles with your smartphone camera. NeRF uses these images to create a realistic, digital 3D model.
The special thing about Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) is that it can depict details such as light, shadows or even reflective surfaces much more accurately than conventional methods. As a result, the 3D models look so lifelike that they can be used in architecture, online retail or video games, for example.
An illustrative example: A furniture manufacturer wants to enable its customers to view a sofa online from all angles. With NeRF, the manufacturer can make the sofa available as an interactive 3D model with a few photos - allowing buyers to experience the product as if it were real.
