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

3D shapes are described by their faces, edges and vertices. The faces can be the same shape or different, and a 3D shape could have a curved surface as well as flat faces.

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 ...

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 ...

"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 ...

This KS2 maths article explains how to sort 2D and 3D shapes according to their properties using Carroll diagrams and Venn diagrams, ...

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

It’s quite easy to see how simple 3D objects could be created using the principle. For example, if the solution were only applied to the edges, only they would shrink when heated, and the disc would ...

They say online media is going to be 3D, starting with e-tailing. Where can a merchant get that multi-dimensional content? They have 2D pictures, and they have physical objects. Occasionally there ...

MIT and the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) teamed up to create a new kind of structure that can "remember" its original shape, and ...
