Researchers at Microsoft have developed an AI model that converts 2D images into 3D shapes. They say it's superior to previous techniques.

So first his system renders a 3D reconstruction of the 2D image in very low resolution. You can still get a lot from that — for example, that the outer third of the whole volume appears to be empty.
