Using a text prompt, Google’s latest Genie 3 model can create interactive 3D worlds that can be navigated with a mouse and keyboard.
New advancements from Google suggest AI-generated video games might become a reality faster than previously thought.
On Tuesday, the company’s DeepMind research lab introduced Genie 3, an AI program that goes beyond image or video generation by letting you create 3D interactive worlds based on a text prompt. DeepMind introduced an earlier version, Genie 2, in December. But at the time, it could only create 3D worlds at 360p resolution, and you could only play with it for 10 to 20 seconds.
In contrast, Genie 3 levels up the resolution to 720p. It can maintain visual consistency for a few minutes, letting the user navigate the 3D world for a longer time. The environment will also react to your actions. For example, you can paint a wall with a brush.
In addition, the user can also type in new prompts to change the 3D environment, or what’s called a “promptable event.
