All AI Simulation →Turn a single image or video into a persistent 3D world that can be explored endlessly, without the AI “forgetting” areas it has already visited. The generated scenes can be easily exported as Gaussian Splats or meshes directly into NVIDIA Isaac Sim for robotic simulation
Next-generation AI for creating interactive virtual worlds in real time at 720p and 24 fps. You can explore several minutes of coherent, modifiable scenes via text
Generate interactive 3D environments from text, images, or videos using this open-source model from Tencent. Unlike simple videos, it produces true editable 3D assets (meshes, point clouds) that are directly compatible with Unity and Unreal Engine
An open-source world simulator running at 16 FPS with real-time keyboard/mouse interaction and latency <1 s. Generation from a single photo with lasting consistency for embodied AI
Create persistent 3D worlds from a prompt, image, or video, edit scenes in real time, and export meshes or videos for games, movies, or prototypes. Intuitive multimodal interface
