As you can see in the demo video above, users will be able to, for example, take a digital art project being developed in 2D on a PC and pull it into the 3D realm, "instantly scaling and manipulating the model's colors and textures," according to Facebook's release. Hybrid app technology is still in its early development and there are no further details currently available.
