Google DeepMind integrates Street View into Genie world model

google deepmind has integrated street view into its genie 3 world model, combining 280 billion images from 110 countries to create geographically grounded, interactive simulations. announced at google i/o, the feature allows users to generate navigable environments based on real locations and modify conditions such as weather or time of day, assisting in robot and autonomous vehicle training by simulating rare encounters. the technology currently supports waymo's simulation efforts by adding external perspectives beyond the car's viewpoint, though it lacks photorealism and physics-aware interactions in its experimental stage. access begins today for us ultra subscribers, with global availability following in the coming weeks as deepmind seeks to refine the model's accuracy and environmental consistency.
