Providing 3D data for messages in a messaging system

This technology allows users to add special 3D effects to pictures they send in messages. It works by using artificial intelligence to figure out the depth of objects in a photo, then uses that depth information to create a realistic 3D appearance. The system specifically details how to process this depth information and can use photos taken with either multiple cameras or a single camera with advanced focusing capabilities.

Why it matters: Filed in 2023, this technology relies on machine learning for depth generation and augmented reality. Since then, mobile device computational photography and on-device machine learning capabilities have advanced significantly, making real-time depth sensing and AR effects more efficient and accessible on consumer hardware.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedMachine learning, AR software system
