Project Genie is a Google Labs experiment that lets you simulate dynamic worlds you can navigate in real time with Genie, our general-purpose world model. Today, we’re connecting Project Genie to nearly 20 years of Street View data from Google Maps — so you can now build interactive spaces... based on real-world locations. Street View imagery in Project Genie is available now for places in the U.S., and will expand to more locales over time. #GoogleIOshow more

We’re also expanding access to Project Genie — including the new Street View capability — to more people around the globe. Starting today, it’s gradually rolling out to all eligible Google AI Ultra $200 subscribers globally (18+). Learn more about how to bring your imagination to life with Project Genie → #GoogleIO

@GoogleLabs This is bullshit -- sorry but I'm Ultra and been using Gemini for a long time and I'm locked out of this?

This feels like the moment “prompting worlds into existence” becomes real. Now imagine: “Create a cyberpunk version of Tokyo” “Turn my hometown into a zombie survival map” “Simulate traffic flow for urban planning” The missing piece is persistent physics + multiplayer collaboration 👀

@GoogleLabs Yet again it's for ultra users and Us only 👎

@GoogleLabs wtf is this still US only! what am paying for?

@GoogleLabs А можно в Норильск и чтобы белых ходоков на вахтовке давить?

@mikediarmid @GoogleLabs

@GoogleLabs How about connecting realtime rendering to a normal map view?

@GoogleLabs Real world locations as interactive spaces opens up a lot. How accurate does it stay to the actual place vs drifting into hallucinated geometry

@GoogleLabs すごい！Genieプロジェクトは未来の世界への新しい体験をもたらします。街をリアルタイムでナビゲートできるなんて！来る日も楽しみですね。#GoogleIO

@GoogleLabs When will the API be released? Any plans for official launch?

@GoogleLabs Connecting a world model to 20 years of Street View data is wild. That's basically giving Genie a memory of the entire planet.

@GoogleLabs Woah! That's dope for the holodeck

@GoogleLabs Would be nice to use a medieval setting for European cities/places.

@GoogleLabs if the price of this things is less than $69,99€ , the walking simulator business is finish.

@GoogleLabs As I recall Nvidia had one of these models handy last year. Is this the same stuff? Modeling of phenomena impact, weather etc? Real time updates?

@GoogleLabs damn, probably the most underrated announcement today

@GoogleLabs 今日突然デザイン変更され視覚障害者はキーボード移動で画像生成やリサーチやモデル変更ができなくなった。今する具直してくれよくトークバックも壊れる 人を支援する自慢するのはこういうハンディキャッパーを突然突き放すバグ入れるのやめてからにしてくれ

@GoogleLabs This blurs the boundary between exploring the world and simulating it. What does that change about how we experience places?

@GoogleLabs Wait what

@GoogleLabs This is actually wild
