Facebook just rolled out a new tool that uses AI to turn photos into 3D renderings - here's how it works
The tool uses a neural network that estimates how "far" each pixel in a photo is from the camera in order to create a "3D photo."
The AI was trained on a large set of data, meaning it works on content ranging from paintings to photos, according to the company.
Facebook says it is continuing to improve its AI to get better at depth estimation in real-time scenarios, like augmented reality.
The tool is available as of Friday to people using iOS and Android, Facebook announced.
When posting a photo to Facebook, users will be able to click a "3D Photos" button to convert their pictures, according to Facebook's announcement.
