Researchers at the University of Nottingham and Kingston University have created a tool to turn 2D images into 3D\u00a0photos.<\/p>\n

The website went live five days before Apple announced that its iPhone 8 and iPhone X will have 3D facial recognition software to unlock your phone. Check out our coverage of the new iPhone cameras<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n

Aaron Jackson and his co-creators, Adrian Bulat, Vasileios Argyriou and Georgios Tzimiropoulos, have actually been working on this project since January.<\/p>\n\t\t

What was initially intended as a website for other researchers has become viral thanks to media coverage and them sharing the site on Reddit.<\/p>\n

Mr Jackson told Amateur Photographer: “The intended purpose for the website was to provide a way for other researchers to try out the method without downloading the code.<\/p>\n

“I’m sure that 95% of the images which have been uploaded are not for this reason, but some of the things people have done with the 3D models has been really exciting – such as 3D printing and including their face in virtual environments.”<\/p>\n

So how does it work you ask? Well, Mr Jackson assures me the website is quite simple.<\/p>\n

He said: “The website is very standard, the image is simply uploaded and added to a queue. The face rendering, in the browser, is done using a free framework called Three.js.<\/p>\n

“The backend is where things are more interesting.”<\/p>\n\t\t

He described that the images are passed through something called a Convolutional Neural Network, which transfers them into a 3D volume. They then use an algorithm to make a 3D mesh based off the surface of the image.<\/p>\n

Still with us? The images are then\u00a0deleted withing 20 minutes for user privacy and storage reasons.<\/p>\n

\n

Give it a go yourself and transform your selfies into 3D photos to check out how it works via their website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

Current technology is constantly advancing to include virtual reality and augmented reality in consumable ways. So, is the photography the next industry to expand into it?<\/p>\n

While Mr Jackson has no plans to expand his website too much, we may see new technology allowing you to make more photography more 3D in the future.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
