NVIDIA is back on the Time Magazine Top Inventions list in 2023, with Neuralangelo.

For those unfamiliar with Neuralangelo, it leverages the representation capabilities of multi-layer perceptrons (MLPs) to create an implicit function that can meaningfully interpolate between spatial locations, resulting in smooth and complete surface representations.

If you want to give it a try, NVIDIA also has a Google Colab for it.

This is the second year in a row that NVIDIA appears on the list for NeRFs. In 2022, Instant-NGP won.

“The scenes and objects it creates are compatible with popular, off-the-shelf design applications, so they can be edited and used in digital twins [or virtual replicas of real-world objects], robotics, game development, and more,”Ming-Yu LiuTweet

As a note, Ming-Yu is credited in the article as a Senior Director of Research at NVIDIA, but was recently named Vice President of Research at NVIDIA. Congrats, Ming-Yu! This also represents back to back awards for both Thomas Müller, who I had the honor of speaking alongside at SIGGRAPH, and Alex Evans. I can't imagine there are many people who have a winning streak for Time Magazine's best inventions.
