  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App

  • 2dimageto3dmodel

    We evaluate our method on different datasets (including ShapeNet, CUB-200-2011, and Pascal3D+) and achieve state-of-the-art results, outperforming all the other supervised and unsupervised methods and 3D representations, all in terms of performance, accuracy, and training time.

  • As for the app, I feel like I have a really good and unique idea so I don't want to explain it very thoroughly, but essentially I want it to be available on my website and on the app store. Ideally, I want it to scale up and become something big, I feel the scalability for the idea is pretty good so I would hope it doesn't stay a small project. Another specificity that I feel is important is that I want to take a series of 2D images and turn it into a 3D model that can then be manipulated and deformed. There are libraries on GitHub for predictively turning a 2D image into a 3D render like here. I have a hunch this would be incredibly difficult and time-consuming to turn into an app, but I wonder if something like this could even be implemented in unity. I haven't used much GitHub really at all though, and I'm not even sure whether or not I could use someone's code like this on an app and then profit off of it legally, I'm just trying to understand all of this.

  • Looks like Polygonjs may interest you. (disclaimer, it's a super biased opinion since I'm the creator). But have a look at the official examples or https://twitter.com/polygonjs to get a sense of what it can do. Interacting with a 3D model is definitely super easy with it.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.
