AI companies are experimenting with interactive, AI-generated worlds like a version of Quake and Minecraft. Google DeepMind is developing models to 'simulate the world.'
An AI startup, Odyssey, backed by Pixar cofounder Edwin Catmull, is exploring 'interactive video,' where viewers can interact with AI-generated videos in real-time.
Odyssey describes interactive video as 'video you can watch and interact with,' offering a first-person video game experience in real-world-like environments.
Odyssey's interactive videos currently provide a raw experience similar to walking through a blurry Google Street View but hyped as an 'early version of the Holodeck.'
