Two-dimensional (2D) Ruddlesden–Popper (RP) CsPbI₃ perovskite possesses superior phase stability by introducing steric hindrance. However, due to the quantum and dielectric confinement effect, 2D structures usually exhibit large exciton binding energy, and the charge tunneling barrier across the organic interlayer is difficult to...

GazeNeRF: 3D-Aware Gaze Redirection with Neural Radiance Fields

Ruzzi, Alessandro (author), Shi, X. (author), Wang, Xi (author), Li, Gengyan (author), De Mello, Shalini (author), Chang, Hyung Jin (author), Zhang, X. (author), Hilliges, Otmar (author)

We propose GazeNeRF, a 3D-aware method for the task of gaze redirection. Existing gaze redirection methods operate on 2D images and struggle to generate 3D consistent results. Instead, we build on the intuition that the face region and eyeballs are separate 3D structures that move in a coordinated yet independent fashion. Our method leverages...
