D World Models and Immersive Experiences Tencent has open-sourced HunyuanWorld-Voyager, a video diffusion framework that generates 3D point clouds from a single image. This model not only generates ...

Point-E doesn’t create 3D objects in the traditional sense. Rather, it generates point clouds, or discrete sets of data points in space that represent a 3D shape — hence the cheeky abbreviation.

OpenAI releases Point-E, which is like DALL-E but for 3D modeling Its resolution isn't great but it's up to two magnitudes faster than competing systems.

Point clouds are what 3D scanners create when an object is scanned, and to become useful, those point clouds are usually post-processed into 3D models (specifically, meshes) like an .obj or .stl file.

Laser-scanning technology can create exceptionally detailed 3D models of cultural sites, bringing them to life online—and helping experts restore them if disaster strikes.

Rapidform XOR2/Redesign 3D scanning software generates parametric CAD models from point-cloud data.

This episode looks at the "point clouds" for 3D data visuals used in architecture, archaeology, and autonomous driving. Plus, robots learn new moves.
