What is a Project Turntable?
Project Turntable is an innovative AI tool launched by Adobe at the 2024 MAX conference. It allows users to rotate 2D vector images as if they were 3D objects, instantly generating hidden parts of the image. It fills in the blank areas exposed during rotation with AI models, simplifying the workflow of 2D image editing and improving ease of use for designers. Project Turntable reduces time spent in the design process, providing designers with a more flexible creative experience. Currently in early development, Project Turntable has the potential to become a standard feature in design tools such as Adobe Illustrator.
The main functions of Project Turntable
- 3D rotating 2D imageIt allows users to rotate 2D vector images arbitrarily in 3D space without redrawing them.
- Instant generation of hidden partsWhen an image is rotated to a new perspective, AI automatically fills in the hidden parts of the image, making it appear as if it was drawn from that angle.
- Preserve the two-dimensional properties of the imageEven when an image is rotated in three-dimensional space, the displayed effect remains a two-dimensional, planar image.
- Simplify the design processThis reduces the workload for designers when redrawing images from different perspectives, thus improving work efficiency.
The technical principle of Project Turntable
- Generative AIBased on a generative artificial intelligence (GAI) model, it predicts and generates the appearance of an image from a new perspective based on existing image data.
- Deep learning algorithmsIt analyzes image content based on deep learning algorithms, understands the structure and elements of the image, and intelligently fills in blank areas of the image during rotation.
- Image reconstruction technologyDuring image rotation, advanced image reconstruction techniques are used to reconstruct missing parts of the image, ensuring visual continuity and integrity.
- User interaction designWith a simplified user interface, such as clicking buttons and dragging sliders, users can easily manipulate image rotation without needing complex technical knowledge.
- Data-driven decision makingWhen generating hidden parts of an image, the AI model makes the most appropriate filling decision based on a large amount of training data and image features.

Application scenarios of Project Turntable
- graphic designDesigners use Project Turntable to quickly adjust the perspective of graphic elements to adapt to different design needs, such as posters, advertisements, and packaging designs.
- Illustration CreationIllustrators can rotate characters or objects to explore different compositions and perspectives without redrawing the entire work, thus increasing the dynamism of the piece.
- Animation ProductionAnimators design different perspectives for characters or scenes, simplifying the animation production process and improving work efficiency.
- Game developmentIn 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 to enhance the user experience.
