Street View: ground your worlds in real places
When creating imaginative worlds in Project Genie, you can now also base them on real places. Just tap the Maps pin to choose a place in the U.S. and optionally select a style for your world, like “Desert Sands” or “Stone Age.” Then, describe your character — like your favorite animal, comic book hero or even a claymation monster — and Genie will use this information to create an imaginative world with its starting location tied to Street View’s real-world imagery. This capability is powered by Maps Imagery Grounding, the same technology developers use to create stunning AI visuals with Street View.
Want to see the Golden Gate Bridge under the sea? Select the “Ocean World” style to scuba dive with schools of fish around the bridge. Or, if you want to explore what the iconic Fort Worth Stockyards in Texas might have looked like in the 1920s, select the “B&W film” style to see a world with saloons, vintage cars and trading posts.
Street View imagery in Project Genie is available now for places in the U.S. with plans to expand to more places over time.
