2+ hour, 36+ min ago (358+ words) Apple has published a study titled Sharp Monocular View Synthesis in Less Than a Second, in which it details how it trained a model to reconstruct a 3D scene from a single 2D image, while keeping distances and scale consistent in real-world terms. Here's how Apple's researchers present the study: In a nutshell, the model predicts a 3D representation of the scene, which can be rendered from nearby viewpoints. A 3D Gaussian is basically a small, fuzzy blob of color and light, positioned in space. When millions of these blobs are combined, they can recreate a 3D scene that looks accurate from that specific vantage point. To achieve this, Apple trained SHARP on large amounts of synthetic and real-world data, enabling it to learn common patterns of depth and geometry across multiple scenes. This enables SHARP to reconstruct a plausible 3D scene without requiring multiple images…...

It's a simple Flutter app where users can browse wallpapers and share them with friends. Or at least" that's what I thought. The app had been running perfectly for a long time. I recently updated my system and got access to an iOS 26 device. Naturally, I wanted to run the app and see how it behaves on the latest iOS. The app launched. The UI looked fine. Scrolling was smooth. Then I tapped the Share button. " Boom. Runtime exception. The crash happened only when triggering the share action.
