Google Research has been at the very forefront of Radiance Field innovation. Of the original NeRF paper authors, Jon Barron, Ben Mildenhall, and Pratul Srinivasan, either were working at Google or went to work at Google following the paper's release.

Google has continued to push the radiance field envelope forwards, with important papers such as Mip-NeRF, Mip-NeRF 360, Zip-NeRF, CamP, Nuvo, MERF, SMERF, Dreamfusion, Reconfusion, BakedSDF, Binary Occupancy Grids, Ref-NeRF, and more.

Google Research also now has Georgios Kopanas, one of the original authors of 3D Gaussian Splatting on their team.
