A neural network made it possible to stroll through paintings

Google unveiled an updated version of its Genie 3 game engine, which generates 3D spaces in real time. The developers demonstrated the model using two classic paintings: Edward Hopper's "Nighthawks" and "The Death of Socrates."

Google unveiled an updated version of its Genie 3 game engine. It can generate graphics on demand and render them in real time, adapting to the player's movement. Genie 3 also supports uploading images and creating dynamic levels from them. The developers demonstrated the model using two classic paintings: Edward Hopper's "Nighthawks" and Jacques-Louis David's "The Death of Socrates."

In both cases, Genie 3 was able to create 3D spaces while preserving the original image. However, the model is currently undergoing testing, and it is unknown whether regular users will have access to it.
