Luma Interactive Scenes by Luma AI, Inc.
Luma has developed a rather impressive piece of AI-enabled technology that lets users create lifelike 3D objects using their mobile phones. Called Luma Interactive Scenes, it is used to capture products, objects, landscapes and scenes wherever you are.
Specifically, with nothing but their phone, users can capture 3D scenes with details, including reflections and lighting and share with everyone. They can also capture products and game assets in 3D.
This is made possible using a technique known as Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF), which is similar to the ray-tracing technique that makes the graphics in high-end gaming look so realistic.
Unsurprisingly, Luma Interactive Scenes is getting increasingly popular among the TitTok community, game developers and other folks looking to “relive the moment.”
