In June of 2023, Stony Brook University PhD students Ryan Burgert, Kanchana Ranasinghe, and Xiang Li, along with Professor Michael Ryoo — SUNY Empire Innovation Associate Professor at AI Institute, Stony Brook University—greatly advanced the role of AI in art by using the technology to create stunning optical illusions. The team showcased their project, titled “Diffusion Illusions: Hiding Images in Plain Sight,” at the IEEE/CVF Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) 2023, where they won the Demo Award for their contributions to the field.
Their model, which uses text prompts to generate realistic images, can create a variety of optical illusions, including Flippy Illusions, Rotating Overlays, and Hidden Characters.
