3-Sweep: Extracting Editable Objects from a Single Photo, SIGGRAPH ASIA 2013
About this video
A SIGGRAPH Asia 2013 research demo of 3-Sweep, a tool for extracting editable 3D objects from a single photo using a few user strokes. It predates modern AI image tools.

SIGGRAPH from over a decade ago has entered the chat... [VIDEO] It may not be AI, but this single video blew my mind back in *2013* and I find myself thinking about it often.
Read original comment ↗I would love to see this combined with object extraction to make 3d models from the measurements. Here's an amazing demo: [VIDEO]
Read original comment ↗Lots of interesting research being done on this, keep an eye out for stuff from SIGGRAPH later this month. Here's an example from SIGGRAPH Asia: [VIDEO] .
Read original comment ↗That is correct. Sometime in the future, consumers will have software that can turn 2D images into simulated 3D [0]. It's still in dev mode right now, though. [0] [VIDEO]

I had used it for a few things here and there, but dedicated 3D tools were much better if you were working in that space.
