This AI Makes 3D Illusions

A research method is presented that enables anyone to create 3D illusion art using AI-assisted techniques. The approach generates 3D objects that reveal hidden images when viewed through a reflective cylinder or curved mirror — a modern take on anamorphic art. Unlike traditional anamorphic techniques that reveal only one hidden image, this method can embed multiple hidden images simultaneously, and the top-down view also forms its own meaningful scene. Examples include text-based 3D objects, flat paper setups, and textured 3D shapes like cubes and spheres that show different images from different angles.
