| Neural radiance fields (NeRFs) is a technique to create models

| The way it usually works is that the 3d geometry you're
| interested in (a car, a tree, etc.) exists within a static,
| bounded space (e.g. a unit cube). This research changes that
| requirement, allowing you to create larger spaces without the
| memory and computational drawbacks of "just making the bounded
| space bigger."
