Introducing mip-NeRF! By casting cones instead of rays, and by positionally encoding volumes instead of points, mip-NeRF (à la "mipmap") fixes big problems NeRF has with aliasing and scale. 60% lower error than NeRF and 22x faster than supersampling NeRF. https://t.co/hFtu3KxYnk

I have a free @iclr_conf registration as a reviewer. I’d like to effectively pass this on by paying for someone’s registration who otherwise may not be able to attend. Please DM if interested or feel free to retweet :)
