Discovered in 1969 at UC Santa Barbara, the Mirascope uses two parabolic mirrors creating a 3D image above the actual object. The image is not a hologram and is produced solely by reflection of light rays [source, read more:

I bought one of those years ago for my nieces. They thought it pretty cool. You can get them super cheap online. The one I got came with a plastic frog.

Wow, the Mirascope sounds like a fascinating optical illusion! It's amazing how our brains can perceive depth and dimensionality from just the reflection of light rays. Thanks for sharing!

since it's not a hologram then it's a mirage? 😯 that kind of optical artifact

There used to be an arcade game in the mid-90’s based on these mechanics.

I regret not buying it in 1997 at THE SHARPER IMAGE store in DC. It was for $14. I was pretty amazed by the technology. I've always wondered about the angles of the convex mirrors. Never went into depth though. They have a specific name for this.

"In October 2024, at approximately 1851 local time in the northeastern United States, an eyewitness observed a light source below the horizon, hovering above a pond at an estimated distance of 2,700 feet. The luminous object resembled a 'plasma-like sphere' intermittently changing shape and luminosity. At times, the primary light source appeared to separate into smaller luminous points. A luminous point below the primary source hovered just above the water and did not appear consistent with a surface reflection. The object remained generally stationary for approximately 45 minutes before disappearing. The eyewitness did not hear any sound from the objects. This video was captured by a private citizen on an iPhone and subsequently analyzed and authenticated by the U.S. Government. To protect the individual’s privacy, the footage has been cropped. Apart from this privacy-protective measure, no edits, enhancements, or alterations have been made to the visual content. The description above is derived from statements provided to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) by an eyewitness to the event. The FBI assesses the individual who reported this event as highly credible."

I stabilized the plane’s motion in the satellite video and aligned the Airliner_03 model from Video Copilot’s JetStrike with it. It’s a match. Things to pay attention to: · The blue bottom of the fuselage matches. The “satellite” video is clearly not a thermal image. At night, the top of the plane would not be significantly hotter than the bottom, and the bottom of the fuselage would not be colder than the water. The satellite video shows a plane with a white top and a blue bottom. · The blue-gray area above the wing matches. This is especially noticeable at the 4x and 8x speeds. · The light blue tail fin almost disappears when the background image is light blue. This explains the “missing tail” at the beginning of the video. #MH370x

Depth is starting to feel less like an image… and more like geometry. InfiniDepth (open source) pushes exactly in that direction🤩 Depth is no longer just a map. It’s becoming a geometry representation. Single image → depth → 3DGS🥳 It’s not replacing real-world capture, but it’s definitely changing how image-to-3D works.

The authenticity of the shroud is supported by much more evidence than most people know. ° microscopic deposits on the shroud of extremely rare soil found in Jerusalem, and microscopic deposits of flower pollen from Jerusalem. ° chemical evidence that the blood on the cloth is high in bilirubin, something that is consistent with a body that has suffered some kind of torture. ° crucified body in the cloth, consistent with the biblical account. ° There is no evidence that the blood deposits on the shroud have been disturbed. ° It appears that the body simply ‘dematerialized’ in a way that did not disturb the blood, while at the same time leaving behind an image that could not have been created in the Middle Ages. ° The image that was left on the cloth indicates that this event was accompanied by a burst of light or electromagnetic energy. ° Scientists are still unable to replicate the shroud’s ‘impossible image'—the high-resolution, photographic-negative, 3D image that appeared on the cloth after the wounds, blood flows, and blood clots formed.

Magic123: One Image to High-Quality 3D Object Generation Using Both 2D and 3D Diffusion Priors paper page: present Magic123, a two-stage coarse-to-fine approach for high-quality, textured 3D meshes generation from a single unposed image in the wild using both2D and 3D priors. In the first stage, we optimize a neural radiance field to produce a coarse geometry. In the second stage, we adopt a memory-efficient differentiable mesh representation to yield a high-resolution mesh with a visually appealing texture. In both stages, the 3D content is learned through reference view supervision and novel views guided by a combination of 2D and 3D diffusion priors. We introduce a single trade-off parameter between the 2D and 3D priors to control exploration (more imaginative) and exploitation (more precise) of the generated geometry. Additionally, we employ textual inversion and monocular depth regularization to encourage consistent appearances across views and to prevent degenerate solutions, respectively. Magic123 demonstrates a significant improvement over previous image-to-3D techniques, as validated through extensive experiments on synthetic benchmarks and diverse real-world images.

An Object is Worth 64x64 Pixels: Generating 3D Object via Image Diffusion discuss: We introduce a new approach for generating realistic 3D models with UV maps through a representation termed "Object Images." This approach encapsulates surface geometry, appearance, and patch structures within a 64x64 pixel image, effectively converting complex 3D shapes into a more manageable 2D format. By doing so, we address the challenges of both geometric and semantic irregularity inherent in polygonal meshes. This method allows us to use image generation models, such as Diffusion Transformers, directly for 3D shape generation. Evaluated on the ABO dataset, our generated shapes with patch structures achieve point cloud FID comparable to recent 3D generative models, while naturally supporting PBR material generation.
