Nanite NeRFing: WebGL/GPU Workshop | Web Games & Graphics + Metaverse, Neuralink AR/VR XR

​Anarchy. Graphics. Revolution.

​Nanite is Epic's Unreal Engine 5's triangle-per-pixel detailing engine that finds shared geometric seams across different resolutions of a 3D mesh, allowing zoom quality to be automatically streamed live without artifacts popping during transition.

​Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs) are a ML approach for creating 3D scenes from photos by "mixing" (interpolation) viewing angles based on depth constraints constructed from combining photos. They can run in realtime on phones.

​The problem is,

​Neither of these systems are Open Source, or a web standard.

​The Open Defense Fund wants to change that. We're embarking on a 7 year journey to create an open & secure neural graphics engine for the web. It's the Mozilla Firefox to Internet Explorer 6 in 2004.

​And what better place to celebrate that, than at Noisebridge? Join cypherpunks & CCC attendees, as we have an interactive & conversational workshop on learning graphics primitives (WebGL) and hacking out the math for keeping the metaverse privacy-centric without corporate surveillance.

​Our volunteers will be donating time to learn & teach at the event. We strongly believe in Build in Public. If you have experience with WebGPU, please volunteer.

​We're creating a community for the future, a write-once deploy-everywhere graphics engine: Web, Mobile, Desktop, Console, VR/AR/XR, Neuralink/Openwater.

​Cognition determines how we perceive the world from the signals flooding our brain's filter. Exploiting how this works, gives us faster, cheaper yet more realistic graphics.

​Beginners welcome, we will have resources for you to follow if you are learning code for the first time - come join! However, the workshop will assume moderate programming experience, though 0 webgl knowledge is needed. We ask that you watch this 20 minute starter tutorial before attending.

​Bring your laptops!
