Abstract: Recovering 3D Human-Object Interaction (HOI) from single images is challenging due to depth ambiguities, occlusions, and the huge variation in object shape and appearance. Thus, past work ...

3D scanners rely on being able to identify physical features of an object, and line up what it saw a moment ago with what it sees now in order to build a 3D model. However, not every object is as ...

MIT researchers have developed a generative AI system that allows users to personalize 3D-printed objects without weakening their structural strength. The system, called MechStyle, tackles a common ...

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 ...

This project offers the Canonical Objaverse Dataset, created using the methods outlined in the paper "One-shot 3D Object Canonicalization based on Geometric and Semantic Consistency." Additionally, ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Since 3D printers debuted in the 1980s, the devices have been used ...

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 ...

We’re introducing SAM 3 and SAM 3D, the newest additions to our Segment Anything Collection, which advance AI understanding of the visual world. SAM 3 enables detection and tracking of objects in ...

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 ...

If you find 3D printers to be just a little too coldly futuristic, this contraption might be more to your liking. Scientists from Cornell University have created a machine that knits solid 3D objects ...

What if the physical world could be captured with such precision that it became indistinguishable from its digital counterpart? This is the bold ambition driving the collaboration between Microsoft ...

Researchers have developed photonic devices that manipulate light to enable innovative applications, like pocket-sized 3D printers. Sabrina Corsetti, a PhD candidate at MIT, and her collaborators in ...
