For example, if the solution were only applied to the edges, only they would shrink when heated, and the disc would form a bowl-shaped object. But more complex “chemical origami” would need an ...

So first his system renders a 3D reconstruction of the 2D image in very low resolution. You can still get a lot from that — for example, that the outer third of the whole volume appears to be empty.

Researchers have developed a new technique, called MonoCon, that improves the ability of artificial intelligence (AI) programs to identify three-dimensional (3D) objects, and how those objects ...

North Carolina State University researchers have developed a method for having 2D patterns made of plastic self-assemble into 3D objects using a heat lamp and printer ink.

Nvidia researchers have created a rendering framework that uses AI to take 2D information and transform it into a 3D object accurately. The system is called DIB-R, ...

Windows Capture 3D. But bringing physical objects into the digital world goes even deeper than that; Paint 3D also integrates with a new “Windows Capture 3D” tool being introduced in Windows 10.
