NVIDIA neural network for turning images into 3D objects is surprising: It allows you to "look through the looking glass"

While testing a neural network, developer Jug Bruyere discovered an unusual "side effect" that occurs when there is a mirror in the processed scene. Instant NeRF makes it possible to "fly into" the mirror and even move a bit further into the "looking-glass" by looking around.

In Bruyere's example, the neural network processed 134 photos. The AI algorithms then recreated the photos from the missing angles, including reconstructing the reflection in the mirror. According to the developer, the neural network "does not understand" that it is a mirror, but is familiar with the concept of depth.
