And that's a wrap on #CVMP2025! 🎬 What an incredible few days at the BFI Southbank. A huge thank you to all our attendees, our four amazing keynote speakers, all the authors who presented their groundbreaking research, and our fantastic sponsors and volunteers.

From mind-bending NeRFs and Gaussian Splats to the future of 3D meshes and virtual humans, the discussions were top-notch. Congratulations again to all our award winners! 🏆 It was fantastic to see industry and academia connect. We can't wait to see you all next year!

Congratulations to Paul Hinzer and team from @fraunhoferhhi.bsky.social for winning best paper award! 🏆🎉

Our last keynote of the conference #CVMP2025 is by Peter Hedman on The Last Mile of Research for Production-Ready View-Synthesis focusing on his work at Google and the most recent developments of NeRFs and Sora.

He argues for doing demo-centred research which necessitates going the last mile of research. For example, for NeRF going the last mile was tackling the robustness, scale, and speed.
