Why does it matter?
As a tool
3D is everywhere - from games, to movies, to retail.
As we’ve seen with 2D, machine learning can be an extremely useful tool.
This is likely already pretty obvious.
For general intelligence
Something that’s less obvious is the importance of 3D for general intelligence.
In order to achieve general intelligence, AI needs to be grounded to the 3D world.
It’s a popular claim that we need 3D for the next big leap in AI. However, there is no consensus on how 3D should be represented or what it looks like to understand the 3D world.
This remains to be seen and highlights the importance of research in this area.
