The previous version of this video had some scenes which were insensitive in the light of the tragic events in Prague. We apologize if the video’s content was insensitive given the context of the tragedy. It was never our intention to cause any harm or offense and we were not aware of the tragedy at the time of the video's edit & subsequent release. Those parts of the video have since been removed -Sean

Is it possible, considering Lewis's specialty, we could call him a nerf herder?
-
Dang I kinda expected you guys to explain more in depth how it actually worked. I feel like Lewis was about to get into the good stuff but was then a bit cut off to just give a basic demonstration instead. Would love to see a longer video starring Lewis where he can take all the time he likes to explain it further, here or on his own channel :)
-
I do love Dr P's enthusiasm. He seems more like the mischievous student himself
-
One of the coolest things about NERFs is how they handle reflections within the image, where you can control the viewpoint to actually enter inside the scene within the reflection like it is its own little mini-universe.
-
Great video, Nerf seems like a really interesting technology. I'd love a follow up about gaussian splatting
-
The "bad" angles are also kinda awesome, though. I could see this being used artistically.
-
When I saw the thumbnail I was expecting the video to be about Neural Radiance Fields. When they said (no, not that kind) I was then expecting a video of Dr. Mike playing with dart guns. Happy to get the former but sad for not having the latter
-
Really enjoyed this video. The discussion was quite interesting, and I appreciated the insights shared. The duo of both Mike and Lewis brought an engaging and insightful presence to the conversation that added to the overall enjoyment.
-
Good timing. I was just playing with a demo of SMERF which builds on the technique. I'd love a deeper dive on these techniques!
-
Having played around with ray tracers in the 1990s, povray and the like, as well as some 3d modelling from that era… all of this is just insane to see.
-
I see Dr Mike Pound, I click like. That simple. Really good content thank you all!
-
I’ve been waiting for this one! This is great
-
as a swoftware engeneer im so glad that i can just harvest such knowledge
-
Best of the video: Dr Mike watching at the student with a suspicious sight 😂😂
-
Wow perfect timing! Was looking at this earlier. Would love to see that follow up on gaussian splatting
-
How did you get the camera positions considering he just went around with his phone?
-
The current state of the art NeRFs are actually much better than this. There’s also Gaussian Splatting which is faster to generate, faster to render, and even higher quality. This field of research is very new and exciting.
-
This video on Neural Radiance Fields is mind-blowing! Kudos to Lewis for demystifying the complexities with such clarity. Seriously, I'm hooked! Wondering, though, how these fields might revolutionize CGI or virtual environments? Can't wait to dive deeper into this fascinating realm!
-
Well done, Lewis Cheers (Watch out Mike, Lewis a very good presenter ;)
