Point-E, unlike similar systems, "leverages a large corpus of (text, image) pairs, allowing it to follow diverse and complex prompts, while our image-to-3D model is trained on a smaller dataset of ...

Building surveys are problematic. Even with the assistance of sonic measuring devices, they can be difficult, sometimes treacherous, with complicated access arrangements and safety procedures, while ...

3D scanning is becoming much more accessible, which means it’s more likely that the average hacker will use it to solve problems — possibly odd ones. That being the case, a handy tool to have in one’s ...
