Google Unveils Project Genie, Letting Anyone Create Their Own 3D Interactive Worlds
DeepMind's latest creation, Genie 3, has been around since this summer, and its capabilities have been showcased as a tool for training AI agents. Now, the company is opening up the model to the public through an innovative new platform called Project Genie.
To access Project Genie, you'll need to shell out $250 per month for Google's premium AI Ultra plan, which means you'll also have to be at least 18 years old and based in the US. But trust us, it's worth it – this is a chance to explore the cutting edge of artificial intelligence.
Once you've signed up, you can choose from three different interaction modes: World Sketching, exploration, and remixing. The first mode involves using Google's Nano Banana Pro model to generate an initial image that Genie 3 will use as its foundation. You can then describe your character, camera perspective, and how you want to interact with the world.
The process starts with "sketching" what the final world looks like, allowing for tweaks before it comes to life. Users can even write their own prompts for worlds created by others using Genie 3.
However, don't expect a traditional game engine experience – while Genie 3's outputs may look impressive, there are no inherent game mechanics at play. Generation time is limited to 60 seconds, and the presentation is capped at 24 frames per second and 720p.
Still, for AI Ultra subscribers, Project Genie offers an incredible opportunity to witness the future of artificial intelligence in action. This is a chance to see how DeepMind's latest advancements are shaping the world of AI – and it's available to anyone with the right plan and access.
