SIMULATE REAL-WORLD PLACES WITH PROJECT GENIE AND STREET VIEW
"Google just turned the entire planet into a playable video game."
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.
