The Depth Pro system doesn't bother with all that though, yet is able to generate a detailed 3D depth map at 2.25 megapixels from a single image in 0.3 seconds via a standard graphics processing unit.

There is a free software called Stereogrammer that lets you generate stereograms using texture and depth map images. If you want to create stereograms online, you can use a free online tool.

In the GIF, once the depth map is created, objects that are closer to you appear in red while objects that are far away appear in blue. With the ARCore Depth API, AR apps will be much more realistic.

Software Selection: Use reliable software or platforms, such as Google Colab with projects like Tiling Zod Dev, that can efficiently convert images into depth maps.
