OpenAI unveiled their latest research project yesterday, introducing the AI model Sora capable of generating high-resolution videos. In their recent update, OpenAI provided further details on the functionality of this AI model, highlighting some intriguing aspects.
Referred to as “Video generation models as world simulators,” the research delves into Sora’s abilities, such as generating videos at a maximum resolution of 1080p, the process of blending images and videos, and rendering at varying levels of detail. Of particular interest is the capability of “Simulating digital worlds,” where Sora can construct virtual worlds akin to those found in video games. An example presented involves creating a clip resembling a Minecraft player following game rules, complete with dynamically generated scenes as the character moves.
Renowned NVIDIA researcher Jim Fan noted the distinct approach Sora takes in constructing simulated scenes, basing them on input data rooted in physics. This sets it apart from traditional game scene creation methods that assemble objects and follow physics principles. It raises curiosity regarding the role AI may play in future game development processes. Nonetheless, the results from Sora’s video output indicate room for improvement, particularly in adhering to physics principles in various scenarios.
