What is Project Turntable
Project Turntable is an innovative AI tool launched by Adobe at the 2024 MAX conference. The tool allows users to rotate 2D vector images as if they were manipulating 3D objects, instantly generating the hidden parts required by the image. It uses AI models to fill in the blank areas exposed during rotation, simplifying the workflow of 2D image editing and providing designers with greater operational convenience. Project Turntable reduces time consumption in the design process and provides designers with a more flexible creative experience. Project Turntable is in the early stages of development and has the potential to become a standard feature in design tools such as Adobe Illustrator.
Main features of Project Turntable
- 3D rotation of 2D images: Supports users in rotating 2D vector images arbitrarily in 3D space without the need to redraw.
- Instant generation of hidden parts: When the image is rotated to a new perspective, AI automatically fills in the hidden parts of the image, making the image look as if it was drawn from that angle.
- Preserving the 2D characteristics of the image: The image rotates in 3D space, but the effect displayed is still a flat 2D image.
- Simplifying the design workflow: Reduces the workload for designers when redrawing images from different perspectives, improving work efficiency.
Technical principles of Project Turntable
- Generative AI: Based on generative artificial intelligence (Generative AI) models, it predicts and generates the appearance of an image under new perspectives based on existing image data.
- Deep learning algorithms: Based on deep learning algorithms, it analyzes image content, understands the structure and elements of the image, and intelligently fills in the blank areas of the image during rotation.
- Image reconstruction technology: During the image rotation process, advanced image reconstruction technology is used to create the missing parts of the image, ensuring visual coherence and completeness of the image.
- User interaction design: Uses a simplified user interface, such as clicking buttons and dragging sliders, allowing users to easily manipulate image rotation without the need for complex technical knowledge.
- Data-driven decision-making: When generating the hidden parts of an image, the AI model makes the most appropriate filling decisions based on a large amount of training data and image features.

Application scenarios of Project Turntable
- Graphic design: Designers use Project Turntable to quickly adjust the perspective of graphic elements to meet different design needs, such as posters, advertisements, packaging design, etc.
- Illustration creation: Illustrators can rotate characters or objects without redrawing the entire work, explore different compositions and perspectives, and add a sense of dynamism to the work.
- Animation production: Animators design different perspectives for characters or scenes, simplifying the animation production process and improving work efficiency.
- Game development: In game design, it helps designers quickly adjust the perspective of game elements to adapt to different game scenes and perspective changes.
- Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR): In VR and AR applications, it is used to create and adjust 2D elements in 3D space, enhancing the user experience.
