MERF

Earlier this year, Google Research unveiled Memory-Efficient Radiance Fields (MERF) without its codebase. As of yesterday, it's now available.

The project page features quite a few mindblowing demos, so check them out!

MERF enables realtime rendering in browser or on a mobile device. Now that the code has been released, we'll see if Google continues to open up product NeRF submission offerings to a larger base.

If you create anything, feel free to send it over. I'd love to check it out!
