Google Photos’ new 3D trick is cool, but it’s not the only app to offer this
The new ‘Cinematic Photos’ addition to Google Photos is great news for people using the app. However, it is far from the first platform to have made use of 2D-to-3D conversion technology. December 21, 2020 1:15:30 pm

Thanks to AI advancements in smartphone technology, boring 2D photos in your gallery could soon be history. A new Google Photos feature will soon allow you to view the existing 2D images in your gallery as 3D images. The app’s algorithms will add simulated depth information to your flat pictures using AI, and add a smooth panning motion to the image, giving it sort of a moving, life-like feel. The new ‘Cinematic Photos’ feature by Google Photos, appearing in the app’s Memories section, is a prime example of that.
