The video above is a data visualization stemming from a NeRF lidar scan of my friend Jo. Neural Radiance fields is a neural network method of creating 3D environments from 2D images. The algorithm works by compositing dozens of 2D images and stitching them into a 3D Landscape. Jo was filmed and scanned outside Chelsea College of Arts. I used touch designer to create a point cloud environment with the goal of demonstration it the potential for data to be used in expressive ways, this is also a precursor to the type of data in intend to feed a design detection algorithm.
