The 2D to 3D photo conversion feature coming to Vision Pro in VisionOS 2.0 makes a novel capability meaningful for the first time. Cue “Apple didn’t even do it first!” in the comments. You’re not ...

A new technology called Neural Radiance Field or NeRF involves training AI algorithms to enable the creation of 3D objects from two-dimensional photos. NeRF has the capability to fill in the blanks, ...

The metaverse is taking shape right now, and Nvidia has gone all in, introducing a robust set of tools to build it. But even for a graphics pioneer like Nvidia, rendering 3D worlds is a complicated ...

What if you could take a simple 2D image—a sketch, a logo, or even a photograph—and transform it into a fully realized 3D model, ready for 3D printing or digital design? For years, this process ...

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 is ...

A neural field network can create a continuous 3D model from a limited number of 2D images, and it does it without being trained on other samples. Researchers from the McKelvey School of Engineering ...

Last month, the Looking Glass Factory launched on Kickstarter to fund production of a personal holographic image display called the Portrait. Now the company has announced a new cloud-based service ...

The ability to make perceptual and conceptual judgements such as knowing the difference between a picture of an object and the actual 3D object itself has been considered a defining capacity of ...

Facebook is upgrading its 3D photo capabilities, allowing users to create a 3D post out of any 2D image. Until now, Facebook’s 3D photo feature has relied on the dual-lens “portrait mode” capabilities ...
