Depth from ML was all the rage for a short bit, and I think most people filed it under "Things we can do with ML that we could already do better other ways". E.g., with a second image.
Certainly it will find a niche use, but during that time the headlines in robotics papers were all about replacing traditional depth /range sensing with it, which doesn't seem plausible.
- chmod775 1y agoIt's being used a lot to turn regular videos/images into stereoscopic VR content. Mostly pornography. Nunif has tools to convert images/videos or even turn your desktop into a stereoscopic image and live-stream it to your VR headset over WiFi[1] and there's workflow nodes for ComfyUI[2]. I tried the former and it reached conversation speeds of around 10FPS for full HD content on consumer hardware, so definitely usable. Still, I don't really see the point outside adding a gimmick to vacation photos or pornography. Don't think anyone would want to convert and consume a non-VR hollywood movie this way, but feel free to correct me on that.

- wkat4242 1y agoThere's enough porn in real VR180 format though. There's whole platforms for it like sexlikereal. And studios specialising in it with famous performers. Even for that I don't know why you'd want it artificial. Porn is all about being as real as possible.
