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

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 ...

NVIDIA has developed a new NeRF technique — the fastest one to date, the company claims — that only needs seconds to train and to generate a 3D scene.

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

NVIDIA has introduced a new AI model called Neuralangelo that can create 3D replicas of objects from 2D videos, whether they're classic sculptures or run-of-the-mill trucks and buildings.

Technology Robots These 2D machines can shapeshift into moving 3D robots Mori3's triangular, modular design allows it to fuse with its companions, and could one day make it into space. By Andrew Paul ...

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 ...

How is it different from the features of 3D shapes (solids)? Some examples of solids that incorporate 2D shapes are mentioned in this video by Sanchit — for example, a cube has six square faces.

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.
