![Trajectory-wise image rendering results. Our final rendering results present better quality, structural consistency, and diversity, over the competing method GSN [2]. Each group of images is rendered within the same voxel world using a shared global style code, while GSN shares the same global latent vector in each group. https://hubert0527.github.io/infinicity/](https://images.newscientist.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/13111830/SEI_143627573.jpg?width=300)
The InfiniCity AI can create virtual cities that stretch out in all directions
Chieh Hubert Lin et al.
An artificial intelligence called InfiniCity can build virtual cities that extend in all directions seemingly without end. It could lead to virtual reality worlds that millions of people can interact in or be used for training driverless cars how to cope with new surroundings.
Creating detailed three-dimensional environments can be an intensive process. Making ones that represent the real world requires collecting a huge amount of real-world data, for example by Google’s Street View cars. Producing them without …
