Using NeRF, Immersive View promises to recreate a location’s textures and lighting accurately. NeRF is an advanced AI technique that builds novel 3D representations with simulated lighting conditions using typical 2D images. The true-to-life scenery in Immersive View is possible thanks to neural radiance fields (NeRF). If that person is hungry, they can virtually explore the area to locate nearby restaurants and even take a virtual peek inside.

They can use immersive view within Google Maps to virtually explore the building, locate entrances, survey the weather, and find the busiest (and least busy) areas in and around the museum, including predictive information for congestion at different times of the day.

Google offers an example use case: Suppose a user is planning a visit to the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
