Note that it isn't being created from whole cloth, it is trained on videos of the places and then it is generating the frames:

"To improve autoregressive stability for this research preview, what we’re sharing today can be considered a narrow distribution model: it's pre-trained on video of the world, and post-trained on video from a smaller set of places with dense coverage. The tradeoff of this post-training is that we lose some generality, but gain more stable, long-running autoregressive generation."

I recognized the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk channel. It was exactly as I remember.

Could probably be (semi?)automated to run on 3d models of places that doesn't exist. Even ai-built 3d models.

The paper they’re basing this off already does this.

What's the point? You already have the 3d models. If you want an interactive video just use the 3d models.
