This could be a great way to make backrooms horror environments!
I've dreamed of a NeRF-powered backrooms walking simulator for quite a while now. This approach is "worse" because the mesh seems explicit rather than just the world becoming what you look at, but that's arguably better for real-world use cases of course.

True, it sounds (and looks) a lot like https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-3008
That SCP was literally the first thing that came to my mind when looking at the intro video!
i'm thinking a new version of LSD dream emulator could be really interesting.
