Model synthesized dynamic simulation from static map imagery.
World Models ftw :)
I uploaded a screenshot of Google Maps to Gemini Omni with a route drawn on it.
Then I prompted it to create a first person view of someone driving a taxi cab along the route in the reference image.
Pretty close to the real thing.
Positive users praise Gemini Omni's realistic first-person driving videos from Google Maps screenshots as impressive and a strong use-case, while negative users note frequent failures in consistency, accuracy, and smaller cities.

Relatedly, please someone at Google work on a game based on this. If nobody does, it might be Google's second biggest missed opportunity of the decade.

@cfryant @chrisfirst I stopped in on that Alien Fresh Jerky place a decade ago on the road to Vegas. Sadly they just sold a bunch of generic snacks, was hoping they went all out in theme but inside was just a basic fruit and nut store.
@chrisfirst Pretty damn close!
@chrisfirst Super cool use-case!
@chrisfirst Just did this for a smaller city and it totally flopped (sadly). It's a cool idea. Maybe it only works in big ones.
@LexnLin I’ve noticed Gemini Omni does that a lot.
