Stanford's WonderZoom generates infinite zoomable 3D detail from a single image

WonderZoom, a Stanford research project, tackles the single-scale limitation of most 3D world generators that blur when zoomed in. Starting from one image, you zoom into any spot, prompt it, and it generates finer content recursively. The trick: fine-tuning the depth model at each zoom step to match the existing scene, keeping new layers aligned in 3D. The author frames it as a step toward media that keeps generating detail as you explore.
