Create a 3D model from a single image, set... of images or a text prompt in < 1 minute 😮‍💨 This new AI paper called CAT3D shows us that it’ll keep getting easier to produce 3D models from 2D images — whether it’s a sparser real world 3D scan (a few photos instead of hundreds) or your favorite 2D image generator like Midjourney (just an image). How does this magic work? “This architecture is similar to video diffusion models, but with camera pose embeddings for each image instead of time embeddings. The generated views are passed into a robust 3D reconstruction pipeline to create the 3D representation (Zip-NeRF or 3DGS)”show more

Wonderland: Navigating 3D Scenes from a Single Image Contributions:... • First, we introduce a representation for controllable 3D generation by leveraging the generative priors from camera-guided video diffusion models. Unlike image models, video diffusion models are trained on extensive video datasets. This enables them to capture comprehensive spatial relationships within scenes across multiple views and embed a form of "3D awareness" in their latent space, which allows us to maintain 3D consistency in novel view synthesis. • Second, to achieve controllable novel view generation, we empower video models with precise control over specified camera motions. We introduce a novel dual-branch conditioning mechanism that effectively incorporates desired diverse camera trajectories into the video diffusion model. This enables expansion of a single image into a multi-view consistent capture of a 3D scene with precise pose control. • Third, to achieve efficient 3D reconstruction, we directly transform video latents into 3DGS. We propose a novel latent-based large reconstruction model (LaLRM) that lifts video latents to 3D in a feed-forward manner. With this design, during inference, our model directly predicts 3DGS from a single input image, effectively aligning the generation and reconstruction tasks—and bridging image space and 3D space—through the video latent space. Compared with reconstructing scenes from images, the video latent space offers a 256× spatial-temporal reduction while retaining essential and consistent 3D structural details. Such a high degree of compression is crucial, as it allows the LaLRM to handle a wider range of 3D scenes within the reconstruction framework, with the same memory constraints.show more

The new Victoria VR website is live. We continue... to evolve our journey with AI. Victoria VR is more than a virtual world, it’s an AI-driven platform where creation is powered by intelligence itself. Imagine writing a single sentence and watching it become a living world. AI generates the architecture. AI populates it with avatars. AI gives them memory, logic, and awareness. This is creation redefined, where generative AI meets virtual reality, and imagination meets execution. Welcome to the foundation layer of the immersive internet. Discover the new Victoria VR: Victoria VR, a world where anything is possible.show more

I think I just saw a glimpse of where... ecommerce marketing is headed. I uploaded a photo of a pair of brown Martin boots into Pollo AI Marketing Studio, selected a UGC template, and within minutes got a video that looked like it came from a real creator partnership. No casting. No outreach. No back-and-forth revisions. No waiting days for content. As someone who's talked to ecommerce founders, I keep hearing the same problem: every new product needs new content, and scaling creator production is expensive and time-consuming. This feels like one of those AI use cases that's immediately practical. Not perfect. But good enough that it makes you rethink the entire content creation workflow. Turn a single product image into ready-to-publish marketing content with Pollo AI's Marketing Studio.show more

We are excited to announce that World Labs is... joining AMD. The research and technical breakthroughs we have achieved since our founding in 2024 have given us a clear vision for AI’s potential to solve problems in the spatial and physical world. Accelerating the future of spatial and physical intelligence requires scaling our efforts, scaling our reach, and getting closer to the hardware.show more

Today, we released Lyra 2.0, a framework for generating... persistent, explorable 3D worlds at scale, from NVIDIA Research. Generating large-scale, complex environments is difficult for AI models. Current models often “forget” what spaces look like and lose track of movement over time, causing objects to shift, blur, or appear inconsistent. This prevents them from creating the reliable 3D environments required for downstream simulations. Lyra 2.0 solves these issues by: ✅ Maintaining per-frame 3D geometry to retrieve past frames and establish spatial correspondences ✅ Using self-augmented training to correct its own temporal drifting. Lyra 2.0 turns an image into a 3D world you can walk through, look back, and drop a robot into for real-time rendering, simulation, and immersive applications. ➡️ Learn more: 📄 Read the paper:show more

What if you could turn a single 360° photo... into a production-ready Isaac Sim environment in minutes? That's exactly what we did here. Using World Labs' Marble and an Insta360 X5 capture (rotating on top), we generated a complete navigable 3D environment and populated it with Lightwheel Sim Ready assets (bottom view). The result? A fully interactive scene in Isaac Sim, ready for sim2real testing,. Navigation, manipulation, or any robotics task you need to validate. What used to take weeks of manual 3D modeling and asset placement now takes minutes. Capture once in the real world, simulate everywhere in your training pipeline. This is the future of robotics development with world models. NVIDIA Robotics NVIDIA Omniverse #Sim2Real #Robotics #Simulationshow more

A Gaussian Splat can become a world where Robots... and AI agents can act. In our latest OVER Research experiment, we placed a robot inside a real-world 3D capture, with a VLM making decisions based on what it sees. At every step, the robot holds a pose in the reconstruction, gets a newly rendered view of the environment, takes an action, moves, and sees the world again from its new position. Why does this matter? Because 3D captures can become more than reconstructions to explore. They can become environments where embodied AI and robots can navigate, act, be evaluated and eventually train across real-world spaces at scale. Capture a place once. Then turn it into a world where AI and Robots can act. The full experiment, including what we discovered once we actually put the loop to the test:show more

I think people are still underestimating how important the... 3D layer could become in AI video. The problem with complex AI shots has never just been image quality. It’s spatial consistency, camera direction and knowing where everything is supposed to be. GPT-6 Astra can map the scene and keep camera + character paths within the Viewport, giving the shot a spatial structure before generation. I then manually move that scene into CapCut PC and use Seedance 2.5 to render it. From there, CapCut PC becomes the actual editing environment. That feels less like “AI generated a video” and more like a production pipeline worth experimenting with. #CapCutPC #GPT6Astra #AIVideo #Seedance25show more
