Segment Anything 3 reaches a consumer app, testing open-vocabulary vision in production
A fashion app built on Meta's latest segmentation model is an early read on whether promptable perception holds up outside research demos.
Meta has described how the app Alta Daily uses its Segment Anything technology to build a digital closet, isolating garments from photos so users can catalog and recombine them. It is a small but concrete deployment of promptable segmentati…
