Runway demonstrated a new capability: expanding any media into an interactive real-time world simulation, turning fixed experiences into immersive multimodal simulation environments for people and agents. Shown as a follow-up to its Visual Thinking launch, the demo highlights real-time spatial recomposition and direct in-scene interaction, hinting that agents could one day train and operate inside generated world simulations.
