🌀 The New AI Model Lets You "Walk" Inside Videos
London-based startup Odyssey has launched a demo version of an AI model that generates realistic interactive videos at 25 FPS.
The company uses its own "world model" trained on realistic data that understands the physics and logic of the real world. To collect the training data, Odyssey created a special camera with a 360° view and LiDAR sensors that an operator wears on his head.
The Odyssey model creates real-time video frame by frame, similar to how language models guess the next word in a text. You can "walk" in these AI-generated worlds using your keyboard—the model responds almost instantly to keystrokes⤴️.
➡️ You can try the model for free here.
One session lasts 2.5 minutes, but you can restart it as much as you want. For now, the walks are more like "glitched dreams" (the somber music adds to the special atmosphere). Still, the startup's founders promise to improve the technology very soon.
Odyssey is confident that interactive AI videos will create entirely new forms of entertainment without traditional production limitations.
💲 The startup has already raised $27 million in investments, and its board of directors includes Ed Catmull, former president of Pixar and Disney Animation.

"Over time, we believe everything that is video today—entertainment, ads, education, training, travel, and more—will evolve into interactive video," the developers write.
