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 ...

Researchers at Microsoft have developed an AI model that converts 2D images into 3D shapes. They say it's superior to previous techniques.

A new technique for extracting objects from 2D photographs ad turning them into 3D models has won acclaim online. The "3-Sweep" method involves selecting the boundaries of cylinders and other ...

3rd level Maths 2D shapes and 3D objects learning resources for adults, children, parents and teachers.

Graphene-supported polymer brushes were developed as a new type of functional quasi-2D polymers that are transparent, lightweight, freestanding, flexible, transferable and patternable. These 2D ...

The quality improves but the computational cost skyrockets. That’s held back the otherwise highly desirable possibility of extrapolating 3D forms from 2D images.

"This is the first time these catalytic chemical reactions have been applied to 2D sheets to generate flows that transform these sheets into mobile, 3D objects," researcher Anna C. Balazs said. By ...

Scientists have created new types of 2D nanostructured surfaces which appear as realistic 3D objects – including shading and shadows – using nano-engineering techniques. When light hits an object, the ...

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 ...
