Full Transcript

GWM Worlds is a world model for realtime environment simulation. With GWM Worlds, you don't simply generate videos of environment, you simulate them. So you can start [music] with a static image and simple prompt, then begin to explore that complex dynamic [music] world all in real time. You can walk drive, fly, or even skydive through any world, real or imagined. GWM Worlds has [music] accurate lighting, physics, and geometry, and it's able to maintain both spatial and temporal consistency [music] across long sequences of movements. GWM World is still in early development, but it's showing extraordinary promise for the future of realtime [music] explorable simulations. Learn more at runwayml.com. >> [music]
