Following up the wildly successful #InstantNeRF contest last year, NVIDIA AI has announced another contest to highlight the added VR functionality into Instant-NeRF.

In order to enter the contest, you must

  • Use NVIDIA Instant-NeRF

  • Refrain using from vulgar, profane, or controversial subjects.

  • Do not use actual people in your scene.

  • The scene must be rendered appropriately, meaning it must be identifiable, complete, and at least 15 seconds long.

  • Enter the sweepstakes by tweeting your video submission (or DM a link to your .ingp file if you don’t have VR) to the @NVIDIAAIDev Twitter handle and use the hashtag: #InstantNeRFVR.

  • Submissions entered between January 31 and March 3, 2023, will be considered.

The winner will be announced after March 22nd, 2023!
