Google DeepMind has unveiled Genie 3, an advanced AI model capable of generating fully interactive, photorealistic 3D worlds from a single text prompt. These virtual environments run in real time at 720p resolution and 24 frames per second, allowing users to navigate them using keyboard and mouse controls. Genie 3 produces stable, dynamic scenes that can last several minutes and feature consistent physics, enabling immersive experiences such as walking through lava fields, floating islands, and underwater caves. Beyond gaming and virtual reality, the technology holds potential for robotics research by creating rich simulated environments that mirror the real world, facilitating synthetic trajectory generation and fine-tuning on hardware. Google DeepMind envisions Genie 3 playing a critical role in advancing artificial general intelligence (AGI) and agent-based applications. The system also supports chaining actions and steering images and videos to achieve complex goals. Discussions about user experience include plans to allow sharing and playing creations within a community platform. Industry observers regard Genie 3 as a transformative development in AI world modeling and interactive simulation.
