You can also hide or show the widget on your profile page like with XFlowers. We also added a new collectable XChocolates. The widget for XFlowers got replaced by ThriXXX Collectables, which is now the place for all collectable items. And, as AI makes it easier to turn all sorts of 2D photos into 3D objects (not just faces) it’ll be easy to create virtual environments of all sorts.Valentines Day is right around the corner and we got some cool new features and content for you to celebrate the day with your loved ones.įor everybody who doesn't have a present for their crush we give you 25% OFF on all gifts from the shop. But, by feeding a bunch of photographs and corresponding 3D models into a neural network, the researchers were able to teach an AI system how to quickly extrapolate the shape of a face from a single photo.īeing able to create 3D models of faces like this could have all sorts of applications in the digital world: from 3D avatars for video games, to warping your face in an augmented reality video, to VR social media. (Although, that’s exactly what super-intelligent robots would want you to think.)Īs the researchers note in a recent paper describing their work, “3D face reconstruction is a fundamental computer vision problem of extraordinary difficulty.” You usually need multiple pictures of the same face from different angles in order to map every contour.
Okay, so that’s probably not what’s going to happen here, as this widget is the result of some normal research from The University of Nottingham and Kingston University in the UK. So why not use this little AI-powered tool to turn a photo of your face into a 3D model, then idly spin it round, pondering exactly how and when super-intelligent robots will liquidate your body and replace you with a perfect 3D-printed simulacra.
