@natelagos@orenmeetsworld@landforce Real talk, static/carousel only works if your hook is sharp enough. What’s your current conversion rate from story views vs DMs?
Step into the map with the Street View grounding feature in Project Genie from @GoogleDeepmind and @GoogleLabs.
Announced at I/O, this research prototype uses locations from @GoogleMaps Street View as a foundation, letting you generate and explore interactive, 360-degree virtual environments from just a text prompt or real-world starting place.
Cool, right? But… How does it actually work? 🤔
As an experimental tool, Project Genie tackles the "blank space" problem (showing both what’s in front of the camera and behind it) by utilizing Street View data to realistically generate a 360-degree view of the location you selected as the starting point for your world to generate from.
Worlds generated by Genie are far more dynamic and rich because they’re created frame-by-frame based on the world description and user actions. By predicting each subsequent frame, Genie is able to simulate what it looks like to swim across an ocean, or hike to the top of a peak, marking a massive shift in interactive media and simulation pipelines.
What real-world place would you want to step into and explore?
@PhantomStays Great plating but 'superior by all comparison' ignores the real metric: how they handle a problem. Ever had a Euro carrier actually make it right?
@andyantiles_ Real talk: Ali’s problem isn’t a lack of operators-it’s that his business is him. Scaling past $50M means making the product independent of the creator. Who’s proven they can do that?
@joshsuggss Congrats on the award. But claiming street interviews are the "top asset" for 9-figure brands without showing attribution is pure hype. What's your actual pipeline conversion?
