From the Industry
In Time Magazine’s?Best Inventions of 2022, the presence of big developments in AI was no surprise to anyone. Our predictions were right on target when it came to Dall-E 2 - it’s a game changer. But, for computer vision engineers in particular, it was the inclusion of?Instant NeRF?from NVIDIA that is most notable. NVIDIA took a process that “required specialized equipment, expertise and lots of time and money” and changed that to a few minutes and a few pictures. The result: Realistically rendered 3D scenes from static images or videos.
2023 should also be groundbreaking and we’re looking forward to it.
