What is SAM 3 & 3D?
Meta introduces SAM 3 and SAM 3D. SAM 3 segments and tracks objects in images and videos using text or visual prompts. SAM 3D reconstructs 3D objects and bodies from single images. Try them now in the new Segment Anything Playground.
Problem
Users previously had to manually segment and track objects in images/videos, requiring extensive technical expertise + time. 3D reconstruction demanded multi-view systems or specialized equipment, limiting accessibility.
Solution
AI-powered playground (Segment Anything Playground) where users can segment objects via text/visual prompts and reconstruct 3D models from single images. Examples: isolate people in video frames, create 3D assets from photos.
Customers
Computer vision engineers, AR/VR developers, 3D modelers, autonomous vehicle researchers, and AI/ML researchers needing rapid dataset annotation.
Unique Features
Text-guided segmentation without pre-training, video object tracking consistency, single-view 3D reconstruction breaking multi-angle dependency.
