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

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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

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 ...

With a lifetime of observing the world informing our perceptions, we're all pretty good at inferring the overall shape of something we only see from the side, or for a brief moment. Computers ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed a technique that programs 2D materials to transform into complex 3D shapes.

An Apple patent (number 20120268410) for generating 3D objects based on 2D objects has appeared at the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office. Could this involve a 3D printer — or, at least, 3D printer output ...
