🌐AI startup creates walkable 3D worlds from single photos

Godmother of AI’ Fei-Fei Li’s startup World Labs just revealed its first major project — an AI system that can transform any image into an explorable, interactive 3D environment that users can navigate in real-time through a web browser.

Insights for you:

  • The system generates complete 3D environments beyond what's visible in the original image, maintaining consistency as users explore.

  • Users can freely move and look around a small area of the generated spaces using standard keyboard and mouse controls.

  • The tech also features real-time camera effects like depth-of-field and dolly zoom, plus interactive lighting and animation sliders to manipulate scenes.

  • The system works with photos and AI-generated images, allowing creators to combine it with everything from text-to-image tools to famous works of art.

Insights for you:

  • The system features 10 adjustable dimensions, including gender, assertiveness, confidence, and enthusiasm, that can be modified through a slider interface.

  • Rather than selecting from preset options, creators can make precise, continuous adjustments that remain consistent across different use cases.

  • Voice Control also isolates each voice characteristic, allowing users to adjust individual traits without impacting other qualities.
