World Labs: Generating Worlds

Spatial AI generating persistent, navigable 3D worlds from single images.

Visit worldlabs.ai ↗

World Labs' research demo showcases spatial intelligence AI that generates interactive 3D environments from single 2D images. Users can explore the generated worlds directly in the browser using standard camera and movement controls, viewing both color and underlying depth maps. It represents an early look at creating consistent, explorable 3D scenes without manual modeling.

What it's for

  • Explore 3D spatial environments generated directly from still images
  • Inspect scene geometry and depth mapping for computer vision research
  • Prototype navigable backgrounds for games, VFX, and interactive media

Features

  • Browser-based interactive 3D navigation using WASD and mouse controls
  • Color and depth map view toggles to inspect spatial geometry
  • Camera controls including depth of field adjustment
  • Interactive scene effects such as sonar, spotlight, and ripple
