Adobe's new AI experiments let you walk inside photos and interview virtual characters
Adobe has previewed several experimental AI features at its Max conference, including tools that turn flat photos into explorable 3D scenes, let you build animated characters through FaceTime-like conversations, and simplify audio mixing and photo editing. These tech previews hint at how future creative workflows might become more intuitive.

Adobe's annual Max conference showcased a new batch of experimental AI tools known as 'sneaks,' focusing on making complex creative tasks more intuitive. Project Screen Test allows users to develop AI characters by holding conversations with them to define their personalities, backstories, and voices before generating animated scenes. Another tool, Project Sight Span, transforms flat images into 3D environments where users can navigate, change perspectives, and generate missing backgrounds. Additionally, Project Sound Bender offers real-time audio mixing on a color-wheel-like canvas, and Project Rinse Repeat automatically applies intricate photo edits to multiple subjects in a single image. While these are currently just tech previews with no guaranteed release, they reflect Adobe's strategy to integrate generative AI deeper into its Creative Cloud platform.
