Luma AI Android

NeRF on Android has been a hotly requested feature ever since Luma AI launched on iOS. However, there’s a way to upload your Android captures right now and it’s extremely easy!

Through Luma’s web platform, you can upload any video or still images packaged as a ZIP file and it will create a NeRF as long as the dataset is good.

Go to Luma’s website and sign in.

Once you’re signed in, navigate to the top banner

This will open a sub window with an upload menu

Make sure that the file you want to use is in a recognizable file format. Upload the file that you wish to have NeRFed and click “Upload”

Wait 15-30ish minutes and you have your NeRF!

Some tips to be aware of from the Luma site:

Video

  • Disable HDR when capturing videos

  • Capture a scene or object by going around in loops

  • Ideally, capture in loops from 3 heights: phone at chest level looking ahead,
    phone a bit above the head pointing a bit down to the center of the scene,
    and finally from knee level pointing upwards a bit.

  • Capture slowly to reduce blur

  • You can either upload a normal video or an fisheye video

  • Maximum the size of the video can be 5 gigabytes

Images

  • Supported image formats

    • jpg .jpeg .png .gif .pgm .ppm .tga

    • HDR - .exr

    • RAW - .cr3, .dng

  • Make sure the zip contains same kind of image formats

  • You can either upload a zip with normal images or with fisheye images

  • Downsample the images if you hit 5 gigabytes limit using tools available

  • Maximum the size of the images zip file can be 5 gigabytes
