# Google DeepMind launches Genie 3 for generating interactive 3D worlds from text

> Google DeepMind has launched Genie 3, a model that generates fully explorable 3D worlds from a simple text or image prompt. Rather than producing a static image or a fixed video clip, it renders environments you can move through in real time, at 720p and 24 frames per second. The interactivity is the point. The generated worlds respond to user input as you navigate them, and you can reshape the scene on the fly with further text prompts, effectively editing a living environment as you explore it. For now it is available to Google AI Ultra subscribers in the US. This sits at the frontier of what people call world models, systems that learn to simulate an environment well enough to be navigated and manipulated. Beyond the obvious appeal to games and creative tools, such models are increasingly seen as training grounds for robots and agents that need to practice acting in space before they meet the real world.
