Simulate real-world places with Project Genie and Street View

Explain Like I'm Normal

Google DeepMind is combining its Genie generative world model with the massive dataset of Street View to turn static 360-degree imagery into interactive, navigable environments. This allows users to 'walk' through real-world locations that are being hallucinated in real-time by an AI that understands physical consistency. It marks a significant step toward AI world models that can simulate the physical reality of our planet.
