Note
Trinket was developed as part of HackMIT 2025, MIT's 24 hour hackathon.
Overview
trinket.world makes it effortless to capture and share digital memorabilia with friends. In one click, Trinket transforms a 2D image into a permanent, 3D collectible that can be shared with friends instantaneously.
Behind the scenes, each photo flows through a three-step pipeline: it’s uploaded to our Next.JS servers, stylized with a custom Nano Banana prompt through the Gemini API, then passed to a self-hosted mesh diffusion model (Hunyuan 3D 2.0) to generate a vivid 3D trinket -- all in under 30 seconds. Trinkets are stored as two images (original, nano render) and models (.glb files) in Supabase buckets. The frontend is hosted through Vercel.
