Photo to 3D

There is technology being used currently the construction industry to take a set of arial 2D photographs and turn this into a 3D model.

On a similar subject, a colleague at NBS pointed me at the following website which constructs a 3D face from a 2D photograph.

It's pretty clever stuff - and easy to play around with for free if you have a spare two minutes.

Select a pre-loaded example - or upload a face of your own

Not just a 2D face

...but spin it around and it's an OBJ file created with intelligence about the depth of face features

A little creepy, but give it a try...
