Radiance Fields in XR: A Survey on How Radiance Fields are Envisioned and Addressed for XR Research

Abstract (excerpt): Despite the exponential growth of RF research, RF-related contributions to the XR community remain sparse.

To better understand this research gap, we performed a systematic survey of current RF literature to analyze:

(i) how RF is envisioned for XR applications, (ii) how they have already been implemented, and (iii) the remaining research gaps.

We collected 365 RF contributions related to XR from computer vision, computer graphics, robotics, multimedia, human-computer interaction, and XR communities to answer the above research questions. Among these, we performed an analysis of 66 papers that already addressed a detailed aspect of RF research for XR.
