The technology, called PIFuHD, takes photographs of people and reconstructs them in 3D. The tech works on deep neural networks with multi-level architecture that allows for high resolution and accuracy in 3D models even at low levels of memory. More is available in the detail-heavy research paper.

Applications for this kind of automated image digitization include medical imaging and virtual reality, and the researchers have released a version of the model for users to try out themselves on Google Colab.

And you thought Deep Fakes would be abused. Strap yourself in for this.

More evidence of Facebook Next being some sort of Ready Player One experience.

In a few more decades my replicant will be by my deathbed kissing me goodbye as they continue my legacy of chilling and wasting time.

So, just a face texture mapped onto a 3D model? Like that wierd way Google Earth makes 3D buildings from aerial photos.

And that's assuming Feminists don't make it a crime to 3D print women.
