Cyril Diagne created a sufficiently mind-bending augmented reality app that allows real-world objects to be copied and pasted directly into a desktop application as 2D images.
AR Cut & Paste uses BASNet for object detection + background removal, and employs some OpenCV tricks to facilitate pasting accurately to a display. Source code for the Expo/React Native app is available on github. Check out the Twitter thread for more on how it’s done.
