Sundar Pichai announced Genie 4, billed as Google's most realistic and interactive world model. Key capabilities:
- Steer dynamic environments in real time, shaping events, camera angles and actions
- Generate native audio matched to the world, from realistic background sounds to characters conversing in real time
- Simulate photorealistic scenes and real-world physics
- Create more coherent multi-step events
A user jokingly replied he'd send it to people who miss driving on San Francisco's Great Highway so they can use it instead of trying to remove the new park.
