CopernicAI Generative Worlds is an AI-powered platform focused on advancing generative capabilities to create 2+1D bubble worlds that augment generated 2D imagery with depth information, with the long-term goal of enabling fully AI-generated 3D worlds. The offering emphasizes progressive research milestones (2+1D bubbles, 360° panoramas, and VR-ready experiences) and provides tools, APIs, and alpha access for developers and researchers to experiment with panoramic AI, depth-aware imagery, and immersive environments. The platform highlights scalable panoramic AI techniques, early alpha Gen360 capabilities, and a roadmap toward high-resolution, immersive generative worlds suitable for VR experiences on devices like Quest headsets.
Key Concepts
- 2+1D bubble worlds: generated 2D imagery augmented with 1D depth information to form depth-aware panoramas
- Gen360: AI-generated 360° panoramas with interactive viewers (click and drag to look around)
- 360° formats: Mollweide, Little Planet, and Equirectangular projections for versatile panorama creation
- Depth-enabled panoramas enabling immersive, navigable experiences in VR
- Path towards AI-generated 3D worlds leveraging 2+1D foundations
How to Use CopernicAI Generative Worlds
- Sign up and access Gen360 alpha to generate 360° panoramas (free for a limited time via Gen360 API access)
- Generate 360° imagery in Mollweide, Little Planet, or Equirectangular formats
- Convert to 2+1D bubble worlds using copernic360 to add depth and enable VR-like navigation
- Explore in VR (Quest headset and compatible devices) with immersive panoramic views
API and Access
- Free Gen360 API access for a limited time after signup
- Automated API access for Gen360 via API or Postman/CLI workflows
- Early alpha and pre-alpha releases for developers to experiment with generative panoramas and depth-aware scenes
Roadmap and Research Focus
- Efficient Panoramic AI: scalable techniques for low-, mid-, and high-resolution tasks, balancing computation and quality
- Partially Scalable Panoramic AI: high-res inputs with lower-res outputs for classical AI tasks
- Scalable Panoramic AI: joint high-resolution input and output for dense-prediction tasks (e.g., depth, segmentation)
- Generative Panoramic AI: building blocks for Gen360-style panoramas and videos
- Progression toward full 3D worlds and immersive generative experiences
Safety and Access Considerations
- The alpha and pre-alpha stages emphasize research collaboration and controlled access; signup is required for API usage and updates
- The openness to commercial and non-commercial use of generated 360° images is indicated via licensing discussions in the broader Gen360 ecosystem (verify current terms during signup)
