Amazing! How long then until we get photorealistic AI generated 3D VR games and experiences in the metaverse?

Why the downvote? I wasn't being sarcastic, it was a honest question, I'm really impressed how far this technology has come since GPT-3 2 years ago to DALl-E and Stable Diffusion ro Meta's text to video to this...

I was wondering the same thing in the other thread about Text to Video. Someone asked about 3D Blender models, which made me think about animating blender models. Bang, now on this thread we see animated images… it does feel like we can get to asking for a 3D environment, put on a VR glass and experience it. And with outpainting, that we can even change it in real time.

It’s totally sci-fi, and at the same time seems to be possible? I am amazed how even image generation evolved over the last year, but that’s just me daydreaming.

Or in-painting with AR glasses. Change things in the real world just by looking at it (with eye tracking) and say what you want it changed into.

I'm guessing the post could be interpreted as "normie" and not HN curiosity ;)

Maybe because you said "Metaverse" (and to some extent "VR") making it sound like sci-fi nonsense. You could have just said:

You probably want to use ML instead of AI then.

3D game and VR game (i.e. stereoscopic 3D game) is not the same experience.

But I agree that particular company is creating a bad marketing around the term Metaverse. (But pretty decent HW.) NVIDIA has much better footing with their Omniverse. But in the end, we all know the thing will be build as web browsers are today. USD + JS + WebRTC + WebXR can go a long way.

But it is the same tech
