Curious about the actual architecture. From the outside it looks like Gaussian splatting anchored to roughly one viewpoint, since the moment you wander outside the original frame or behind an object, it becomes messy. But Ben Mildenhall is one of the co-founders and a NeRF co-author (https://arxiv.org/abs/2003.08934), so I'm betting that whatever they're doing is more interesting than naive splatting. Curious if OP can share anything about the pipeline.
