Imagine snapping a photo of your favorite object, a vintage car, a family heirloom, or even your pet, and instantly transforming it into a lifelike 3D model. Thanks to Meta’s SAM 3D, this futuristic ...

SAM 3D Objects is a foundation model that reconstructs full 3D shape geometry, texture, and layout from a single image, excelling in real-world scenarios with occlusion and clutter by using ...

Meta Platforms Inc. today is expanding its suite of open-source Segment Anything computer vision models with the release of SAM 3 and SAM 3D, introducing enhanced object recognition and ...

Computer-aided design (CAD) is the go-to method for designing most of today's physical products. Engineers use CAD to turn 2D sketches into 3D models that they can then test and refine before sending ...

Knitting may soon move beyond sweaters and scarves. A team of researchers at Cornell and Carnegie Mellon University has built a prototype knitting machine that can create solid, three-dimensional ...

We take our understanding of where we are for granted, until we lose it. When we get lost in nature or a new city, our eyes and brains kick into gear, seeking familiar objects that tell us where we ...

A pair of MIT graduates have developed a fun and clever way to minimize the amount of food waste sent to the landfill. Biru Cao and Yiqing Wang’s FOODres.AI solution is an AI-powered desktop 3D ...

Summary: Researchers have uncovered how primate brains transform flat, 2D visual inputs into rich, 3D mental representations of objects. This process, dubbed “inverse graphics,” works by reversing the ...
