We’re documenting something that really has needed to be documented, but in a way that’s really comprehensive and shareable.” ...

SAM 3D Body is an AI that can recognize the body shape and pose of a human in an image and create a 3D model. The results are below: SAM 3D Body and several competing AIs were used to generate 3D ...

The online model lets researchers and anyone with an internet connection explore areas that the island’s 100,000 annual ...

Located in the middle of the South Pacific, thousands of miles from the nearest continent, Easter Island (Rapa Nui) is one of the most remote inhabited places on Earth. To visit it and marvel at the ...

Unfinished moai attached to bedrock by “keels” along their backs demonstrate how carvers worked underneath from both sides until figures were separated from the source material. This production stage, ...

In associate professor Mauro Tambasco's lab, researchers at all levels work together to develop innovative approaches to fighting cancer. By creating 3D models of tumors, the lab can better study the ...

Binghamton University archaeologists have released a new interactive, 3D model of the Moai statue quarry on Rapa Nui (Easter Island).

What if creating high-quality 3D models no longer required expensive software, specialized hardware, or years of expertise? Enter Meta’s SAM 3D, an open source AI tool that promises to provide ...

If you’ve ever tried learning Blender from scratch as I have, you know just how brutal the learning curve can be. I spent ...

Rano Raraku, a steep-sided crater on the southeastern coast of Rapa Nui (as locals call the island), was the heart of moai ...

A high-resolution 3D model of Rano Raraku shows that the moai were created in many distinct carving zones. Instead of a top-down system, the statues appear to have been produced by separate family ...

A 47-year-old Cottonwood Heights, Utah, teacher is back in the classroom with her third-grade students – thanks to 3D ...
