Adobe's AI Experiments Enable 3D Photo Navigation and Character Interviews

Adobe revealed a set of experimental AI features at Adobe MAX 2026 Sneaks, including a tool that lets users walk around inside photographs by inferring 3D scene geometry from a single image, and another that allows users to conduct interactive text-based interviews with characters depicted in creative works. These experiments push the boundary of what static visual assets can become — transforming photos and illustrated characters into interactive, navigable experiences using generative AI. For developers working on creative tooling, AR/VR content pipelines, or interactive media, these capabilities hint at an emerging class of AI-powered asset transformation that could reshape content production workflows. Adobe has not announced release timelines, but Sneaks historically previews features that eventually ship in Creative Cloud products. Developers building on Adobe APIs or integrating creative AI tools should watch these experiments closely as signals of where the platform is heading.
