Shownotes Transcript

Can a single photo become an immersive 3D world? Stanford’s Fei-Fei Li and her startup, World Labs, are making it happen. Robert Loft and Haley Hanson explore how AI is bridging the gap between the digital and physical worlds.

This week, we unpack:

  • How it works: Turning still images into 3D spaces and the possibilities for gaming, film, and simulation.
  • The Van Gogh test: Can AI reimagine art as explorable worlds?
  • Why now? The intersection of generative AI, massive funding, and new tech applications.

From rethinking entertainment to reshaping simulations, this could change everything. Could your vacation snapshots be tomorrow's VR getaway? Let’s dive in.
