Google DeepMind recently introduced Genie 2, a large-scale foundation world model capable of generating a wide variety of playable 3D environments. Genie 2 facilitates the development of embodied AI agents by transforming a single image into interactive virtual worlds that can be explored by humans or AI using standard keyboard and mouse controls.
“Genie 2 could enable future agents to be trained and evaluated in a limitless curriculum of novel worlds. This research also paves the way for new, creative workflows for prototyping interactive experiences,” Google Deepmind said in its blog post.
