2D to 3D Photo Conversion in visionOS 2 is the Real Deal

The upcoming Vision Pro in VisionOS 2.0 introduces a significant feature: 2D to 3D photo conversion, making it more meaningful than prior attempts by other companies. While numerous startups and even Meta have tried this before, none gained traction, likely due to the limited appeal on 2D displays.

Apple's implementation stands out due to its quality and usability. In VisionOS 2.0, users can access the feature through the Photos app, where a simple click converts any 2D photo into a 3D image in seconds. Although the results aren't perfect, the speed and on-device processing impressively add depth and lifelike quality to photos, enhancing personal memories.

This feature handles a variety of photo types well, from real-life images to synthetic artwork, though it struggles with reflective and translucent surfaces. Currently, it doesn't support panoramic images, a limitation possibly due to the high resolution of such photos.
