🚀 Big news today with Google + Adobe joining forces! We're talking about 3D content anchored to the real world at insane scale🌐 And of course, AI had a role to play. I've got early access, and let's just say the physical & digital worlds are blurring 😎 Let's... get into it!🧵show more

📽️ Remember when Times Square and Piccadilly Circus was transformed into a live @gorillaz concert with AR? Imagine that kind of immersive experience, but created by ANYONE 🤯 That's the level of game-change we're talking about! ⬇

🌍 Of course, @Google has been leading the charge in real world 3D and AR for a while now -- not just for for getting you to your pumpkin spice latte, but for experiences that transport you anywhere! 📍

🎨 Then there's @Adobe. They're the masters of creation tools and they’ve been busy with @AdobeAero, a tool that makes AR creation a breeze -- allowing you to author a 3D experience without needing complex development. 👇

🤝 Now, imagine combining @GoogleARVR and @googlemaps platform with @AdobeAero. That's exactly what's happening. World-scale AR creation has legit been democratized. This partnership brings Google's real-world modeling into Adobe's creative design tools (+ engines like Unity) 👇

🔬 I had the honor to work on this project and unveiled 3D maps and the Geospatial API at last year's I/O. It was for developers then, but now creators can join the fun! It feels like a proud parent watching their child graduate 💖

🎖️ A huge round of applause for @stevansilvas and @sometexthere. These PMs are nothing short of wizards, making magic happen across the Google AR + Adobe Aero teams. Their work is set to turn the world into a canvas for *all* creators. Bravo! 👇

Another key piece of the puzzle is the the 3D model of the world 🧩 Developers now have access to 3D in ~2500 cities via the 3D Tiles API in an open format created by @CesiumJS. @pjcozzi nice to see this finally enter the wild! It was a pleasure working with ya'll on this 🤝 🌐

🚀 We're not just talking about tech development here. With the power to infuse the physical world with 3D content at unprecedent scale, we're truly stepping into the future. The AR x AI revolution has just begun, folks! Hold on tight!

Of course, LLMs are all the rage lately. So imagine combining the power of world-scale AR, with a helpful, intelligent assistant. That's exactly what developers like @thedesignium are doing today, making an AR walking tour powered by ChatGPT. Imagine where we'll be in 6 months!

And that's a wrap ✨ I've got early access to PaLM & Aero, and I'm ready to play with both! Join me @bilawalsidhu on this reality-bending journey 🌐🚀 Want this (plus my Google deep dive) sent right to your inbox? 📬 Sub to the Creative Tech Digest:
