Good eye

Interesting video here (from 2015) on the development of the Dreams rendering tech: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9KNtnCZDMI

Also maybe worth mentioning that the 2nd author of the InstantNGP paper is also a cofounder of and lead tech guy at Media Molecule, Alex Evans. I've been a huge fan of his work since 90s demoscene and briefly got to work with him at Lionhead Studios, guy's a legit genius.
