The first place #InstantNeRFVR winner went to Harrison Forsyth, who NeRF'd an archeological dig site. This highlights another industry that can benefit from NeRFs and rewalking the sites in VR allows for asynchronous and retroactive viewing.
Forsyth also demonstrated how Instant NGP can be used to clean up the data utilizing the eraser in VR. As part of the winning the contest, Forsyth won a NVIDIA 3090ti. Congrats!
