In a blog post and papers, Facebook highlights a pair of AI models that can convert 2D objects into 3D shapes with high accuracy.

Google's Objectron model can track 3D objects from 2D imagery, and it's lightweight enough to run on any modern smartphone.

This clever new algorithm can make 3D objects from 2D photosResearchers have written an algorithm to derive 3D graphics from 2D data, quickly and at scale Microsoft researchers claim to have devised ...

Soon, rather than merely taking 2D photos, everyday consumers will be able to take 3D captures of real-life objects and edit their shapes and appearance as they wish, just as easily as they would ...

Wherein most 3D printers are designed to create objects that have to remain rigid in structure and shape, 4D printing, as it is called, allows the 3D printed objects to change their shape and ...

But more complex “chemical origami” would need an intricate application pattern, and it is difficult to predict 2D patterns that will accurately translate into the 3D objects desired. The problem is ...

All too expensive. Shopify is now AR enabled, and anyone can now add 3D inventory, or pay Shopify $300 to turn 2D images into 3D models. There is no good solution.

Jan. 3 (UPI) --Scientists have developed a small shape-changing sheet that contorts in reaction to chemical catalysts. The microfluidic sheet can form 3D shapes and move autonomously in a reactant ...

So first his system renders a 3D reconstruction of the 2D image in very low resolution. You can still get a lot from that — for example, that the outer third of the whole volume appears to be empty.

"Rendering Synthetic Objects Into Legacy Photographs" demonstrates a new technology for adding three-dimensional shapes to preexisting photographs. With the help of a human eye to establish the ...
