Meta is showcasing an exploratory artificial intelligence (AI) research concept that will let people use text and simple sketches to generate digital imagery. Make-A-Scene empowers people to create images using text prompts and freeform sketches. It demonstrates how people can use both text and simple drawings to convey their visions with greater specificity using a variety of elements. Make-A-Scene captures the scene layout to enable nuanced sketches as input. It can also generate its own layout with text-only prompts if that’s what the creator chooses. The model focuses on learning key aspects of the imagery that are more likely to be important to the creator, like objects or animals.
