@bilawalsidhu I’m super curious how well Earth Studio videos can work as an input to this for even tighter control (or whether Gemini could convert your image into an Earth Studio path/ reusable path for P3DJS API)

[Jonathan Herbert @jmbherbert]

Kind of fun to run Project Genie outputs through Omni Flash in Google flow to upscale + add realism. Interesting potential future use cases in fine-grained camera control.

[Jonathan Herbert @jmbherbert]

@TheoMediaAI Omni can also make the quality of the original Genie experience better - try “make it look like it was shot on [insert camera brand]”

Project Genie 🤝 @GoogleMaps Street View

You can now take real U.S. places and transform them into new, interactive worlds. 🌍

[Jonathan Herbert @jmbherbert]

@chrisfirst Did this work as well in other locations? I’m curious how much of this is actually the map being translated into visuals vs the model recognizing where the location is and matching it to prior knowledge (eg via geolocated video training data)

[Jonathan Herbert @jmbherbert]

@willemhelmet @reactorworld Impressive - I see the model fills in the bridge behind the bushes, but I'm curious what happens when your character turns around 180 degrees?

@miriamkdaniel We've come a long way from the original #nanobanana powered Pegman + #streetview prototype:

Imagine driving down one of the most picturesque highways on the Pacific Coast (Highway 1) in a race car… now I can use Project Genie, connected with Street View, to bring that to life in vivid detail!

At #GoogleIO, we announced that we’re bringing Google Street View into Project Genie, so you can create and explore imaginative, interactive worlds anchored in real places.

Available to eligible Google AI Ultra Subscribers globally.

Great collab from @jmbherbert, @jparkerholder, @poolio, @drivascos + many others from @GoogleDeepMind and @GoogleLabs.

@jin_linyi Cool usecase. Posed visuals from different angles is a pretty fun one

Google’s Genie world model can now simulate real streets with Street View https://t.co/omZfvUn3ZB via @techcrunch

[Google @Google]

Project Genie is a @GoogleLabs experiment that lets you simulate dynamic worlds you can navigate in real time with Genie, our general-purpose world model.

Today, we’re connecting Project Genie to nearly 20 years of Street View data from Google Maps — so you can now build interactive spaces based on real-world locations.

Street View imagery in Project Genie is available now for places in the U.S., and will expand to more locales over time.

Real-world models are here! Stoked to share how we're bringing real-world locations to life by integrating Street View into Genie. Try it now at https://t.co/j6c1N38tRS and read the blog for more info:

So proud to finally share what our team has been building! 🤯

We merged Project Genie with Street View to let you drop a pin anywhere and instantly generate a playable, 3D simulation of that exact spot. 🗺️
