Researchers have uncovered how primate brains transform flat, 2D visual inputs into rich, 3D mental representations of objects.

At its spring Graphics Technology Conference (GTC) this week, Nvidia demonstrated a new approach to inverse rendering -- the process of reconstructing 3D scenes from a handful of 2D images.

An artificial intelligence algorithm can transform still images into a high-resolution, explorable 3D world, with potential implications for film effects and virtual reality.

Nvidia is converting 2D videos into 3D animations using AI. The model then optimizes the render to sharpen the details, just as a sculptor painstakingly hews stone to mimic the texture of fabric ...
