An app that instantly turns a photo into 360° view you can rotate & zoom into

Hey All,

We made an app in which you upload a photo of a person, and within seconds you get a 360° view you can drag all the way around and zoom into. Would really appreciate your honest feedback.

I gave it a landscape and it just added a woman

u/Manford-Safou 13h ago

wait so it just hallucinated a whole person into your landscape? thats wild

u/hippohaul 1d ago

Thanks for the feedback, we will work on getting that fixed

u/RestFew3254 1d ago

Completely off topic but I ask myself too often: why do comments like that OP comment here get downvoted?
And if my comment gets downvoted as well, I'd also like to understand

26

u/EagleNait 23h ago

Reddit is filled with miserable people that do not see the sun often

10

u/RestFew3254 22h ago

If that was the explanation, then our comments would also have to be downvoted. I have the feeling that people in reddit have little of an own opinion, but tend to downvote what is downvoted already and upvote what is upvoted already. Which would mean that the first couple of votes bias the direction. Could be wrong ofc

4

u/CuteBill9891 22h ago

I would say that’s mostly true. Which is why I always do the opposite trying to balance out the votes and reset bias lol

u/RestFew3254 22h ago

That's a good mission!

u/tomtomato0414 17h ago

Many redditors only read the post and not come to comments and upvote the post, many who have objection with the post in this case AI, come to comments as well, hence the skewed ratio of up and downvotes

u/daniel14vt 1d ago

Very funny and impressive when I gave it a person

u/RogBoArt 1d ago

I uploaded a picture of clouds and not only did it put a random dude in the picture, he covers 90% of the image...?

43

u/Capable_Tangelo4849 1d ago

I'm pretty sure this is using a 360 rotation MiniMax H3 workflow, which works best when there is a humanoid with most of their body in the middle of the picture. So the AI model probably hallucinated a person to make it make sense.

u/rasputin1 20h ago

make it make sense

Don't bother lmao

u/darelphilip 18h ago

Thanks for saving time . These marketers have flocked to reddit for easy profit

1

u/TheBlacktom 7h ago

It was the case since the beginning, it's just another way of hustling. Now with AI generated software the pace has increased. Once they run out of their money and cannot finance most of the projects and only a few will remain that actually have a solid business case, the bubble might pop.

4

u/Hour-Map-4156 17h ago

Why would anyone pay that much for this? I mean, it's cool and all but there must be an actual use case to justify this price!

8

u/marathonmeta 14h ago

Jesus. Even if it was free I hope they fucking fail for calling it a twurn

31

u/peazley 1d ago

gooners are going to go nuts for this

u/Orbidorpdorp 1d ago

tfw no z axis twurn :(

u/3iverson 13h ago

Upskirt.ai

Not a real URL AFAIK, I bet people would pay for that though!

u/scanguy25 1d ago

Doesn't allow sexual or nude content.

u/MatlowAI 1d ago

Oh hi there are you using my h3 lora with splats or something along those lines? When I tried this it was softer though so this looks like a nice pipeline. https://huggingface.co/MATLOWAI/MiniMax-H3-ORB360-CardSpin

u/mdutton27 1d ago

It’s cool but what is a “packs start at 4.99?”

6

u/FoldOutrageous5532 1d ago

Would be great for porn.

5

u/CaptJan 1d ago

No free 'twurn's available, so I'm guessing it's limited by everyone and not a singular IP address. I was going to see how it would handle a 3D sculpture - specifically https://pixabay.com/photos/king-artus-metal-sculpture-bronze-1507392/ which is in the public domain [CC0-License] - and I tried 2 minutes after midnight in my time zone too :(

2

u/hippohaul 19h ago

Increased the free twurns available so should work now

3

u/CaptJan 16h ago

https://twurn.com/s/20261017-f0h7us257qbm

That's pretty darn impressive, especially the dirt road leading up to this scene - to see how well it guessed at the generative stuff you can reference the 3D sphere image found on Google Maps...

https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZH8KkZgZUYF6zCfB7

As the image is public domain, feel free to use this on your webpage as an example of your software inference.

33

u/Moronicon 1d ago

So its just AI filling it in? Out of 100 images how many have issues? Dont lie.

34

u/3iverson 1d ago

I mean WTH else would be happening here?

24

u/Free-Pound-6139 1d ago

A team of painters!

3

u/Freshtastiks 1d ago

Time travel, obviously

6

u/VDX7 22h ago

who else would fill it? leonardo da vinci?

3

u/verdant_tulip 22h ago

Reddit moment

2

u/rasputin1 20h ago

no they built a time machine into a camera 

5

u/hippohaul 1d ago

Yes AI is inferring and then filling in to create the 360. I would say about 7% to 10% of the images have some issues so far

34

u/Raylan_Givens 1d ago

Appending “make no mistakes” at the end of your prompt should bring that down to at least 3% error rate.

8

u/Xxshark888xX 1d ago

It's 5am and you made me laugh, thanks internet stranger =)

4

u/bad_detectiv3 1d ago

what tech are using to do the job? is it seed dance?

8

u/BramleyBear 1d ago

As a motion graphics designer this could be super useful, good work!

7

u/textredditor 1d ago

Just tried it but it turned the person into... something else. With this type of tech and photos of people, table-stakes is perfection, anything less and it's just uncanny valley; especially if the user knows the person in the photo.

-10

u/reddysteady 21h ago

Jargon much?

13

u/QuanTradin 1d ago

first use that came to mind was clothing sellers, not people. a 360 of a jacket on a hanger would beat a flat product photo on most shop listings. is the person version aimed at avatars?

41

u/often_says_nice 1d ago

Sorry best I can do is porn

7

u/hippohaul 1d ago

That is exactly the main market we want to go after, but just wanted to test the tech with this idea first

3

u/alexio-vay 1d ago

Can you share more about the tech? Is it a gaussian splat API?

5

u/Capable_Tangelo4849 20h ago

MiniMax H3 360 degree rotation workflow. Easily achievable with your own GPU and by googling it.

2

u/alexio-vay 20h ago

Thanks, I actually already achieved the same result with REA and Fal AI in just 1 hour

2

u/kowdermesiter 18h ago

What did you prompt REA with?

2

u/alexio-vay 16h ago

"use REA to replicate twurn.com" easy lol

2

u/kowdermesiter 8h ago

I was afraid of this. I thought you had like a few more sentences :D

2

u/JehovasFinesse 20h ago

I read the comment below it first and was like - OP is pretty blunt saying porn is the main market they wanna go after

1

u/QuanTradin 1d ago

makes sense, a person is the harder test anyway. if hair and hands hold up in a 360, a jacket on a hanger should be easy by comparison.

1

u/CuteBill9891 21h ago

yeah but hallucinations would create such a friction. People would complain if the back of the clothing does not match

3

u/QuanTradin 17h ago

true, a made-up seam on the back is a return waiting to happen. a shop would probably want a real back photo as input and let the model fill only the sides.

1

u/Bea-Billionaire 15h ago

But then that would be false advertising... Esp if the Ai just makes up what the back looks like.

2

u/MisterBlackStar 1d ago

Says I've used my free twurn but I haven't.

1

u/hippohaul 19h ago

Increased the free twurns available so should work now

2

u/ObviousBat3541 21h ago

Small thing, but 360° is the horizontal sweep only. If you can also drag up and down, that's 360x180, a sphere. Everyone calls it 360 anyway so nobody will notice.

1

u/avd706 21h ago

Technically that's 360 degrees

1

u/UltraChip 1d ago

Cool idea!

I have some pictures of really niche unique locations that I'd be shocked if the AI could make full sense out of - I might try and see what happens with those.

1

u/hippohaul 1d ago

My guess is that it wouldn't do so great but you can definitely try. Our website works best with people at the moment

1

u/iwatchcredits 1d ago

Works best with people..? So like if i take a picture of my butthole or something the app can generate the whole thing or what?

1

u/3iverson 1d ago

It’s the power of AI- generated a perfect portrait of a person based on a snapshot of their butthole!

1

u/heaton5747 1d ago

This feels like an old stable diffusion model doing the processing

1

u/leocardenas 1d ago

Is there a way to test it? I think this is great for generating scenes. Biggest issue I have is AI understanding what the view from the other side looks like.

3

u/hippohaul 1d ago

Sure, you can try it at https://twurn.com/

1

u/ThatBoogerBandit 1d ago

Just tried it, love it!

1

u/leocardenas 17h ago

This is so great!!

1

u/Mindless-nomad 1d ago

Why not vertical turn as well?

1

u/Plane-Coconut-4077 1d ago

Link? Is it open source

1

u/Due-Craft679 1d ago

This is cool, congratulations on launching it

1

u/bktiel 1d ago

Bought a pack for shits and giggles, works pretty well for stylized images.

Real photos seem iffy, really seems to depend what the model can intuit from what’s already there. If the complete face isn’t in frame it’s kind of a coin flip what you get lol

Still, really cool. Will probably run some old vacation photos through at some point

u/RecordPuzzleheaded26 1d ago

sideboob's arch nemesis

u/ComprehensiveJury509 23h ago

So you basically prompt a video gen API to generate a video of a 360° view of the provided image? That's not a product.

1

u/MrCoco37 22h ago

It syas free twurns are finished. But I haven't t used any

1

u/No_Confection7782 22h ago

AI Slop. Doesn't even work.

1

u/Ok-Elderberry-467 22h ago

It somehow messes with the eyes which makes it awkward

1

u/Dyebbyangj 21h ago

Spatial splat 🫟 it’s free open source I use it

1

u/oulu2006 20h ago

umm clicked on it and didn't do anything and it said

Today's free twurns are all gone. Come back tomorrow! Packs start at $4.99.

5 bucks?

So because I couldn't try it out I just made one of me with Astra, what stops people just doing that instead of using this service?

1

u/theCOLLECTOR7250 17h ago

i think i found this one in github

I think OP did too

u/Roemeeeer 17h ago

Uploaded a foto of a manta, worked suprisingly well although not 360, more like just a video where the manta is moving.

u/Abhinik 16h ago

Make your plan 1$,3$,5$ - that might make someone buy
Specially no tech

u/lupusk9 15h ago

This almost feels like that black mirror episode

u/7HawksAnd 14h ago

Obviously it is what it is.

But this triggers me TO NO END. Bringing war flashbacks to clients asking if I can use photoshop to rotate a person around

u/Outrageous_Band9708 12h ago

VR Photos? is this open source?

1

u/zoober76 12h ago

Wanted to give it a go , but no free goes , shame .

Would really appreciate your honest feedback.

Couldn't try. 1/10

That's quite the hallucination with the random humanoids it's added in several spots. 

There were no people in the random photo I tried

1

u/AYCA0001 4h ago

Add a function so it will turn automatically 360 degrees, and allow people to download it as a video.

1

u/anardoo 1d ago

Damn this is cool. Show the full back of the head too, that’s where I’d expect a single-photo 360 to break. Is that inferred or do you ask for more photos?

-1

u/hippohaul 1d ago

Thank you! It's inferred from AI and it does a good job of showing the full back of the head. You can test this particular one here:

u/MateoConLechuga 1d ago

I get a warning that "We couldn't check that you're human. Reload the page and try again." - I can't seem to upload or convert anything.

2

u/hippohaul 1d ago

That's a weird bug, let me look into that. It shouldn't be doing that

1

u/Lordseppe 1d ago

no free trail? i have 0 twurns? :(

1

u/hippohaul 19h ago

It should work now

1

u/ApprehensiveBar6841 22h ago

I dont see too much practical use of this, it's cool to test out few photos and that's it. Where someone can use this on long run and to become a tool?

u/CaptJan 1d ago

Link?  Web/Android/iOS/other?

u/hippohaul 1d ago

It's currently on web but working on the iOS/Android app. This particular "twurn" is at https://twurn.com/s/20261015-xlvzdv9ssrkp

Very cool, and simultaneously, staggeringly useless. Which is nearly all applications of AI in a nutshell.
