"Odyssey, an AI startup, offers a preview of its 'interactive video', a real-time AI experience likened to exploring a blurry video game."
"The unique format of Odyssey's videos merges watching with interactive gameplay, presenting AI-generated environments that evoke both curiosity and instability."
Odyssey, an AI startup backed by Pixar cofounder Edwin Catmull, has introduced 'interactive video', blending watching with an immersive, first-person experience. Described as an early version of the Holodeck, this technology allows users to explore real-time generated worlds, although currently, the visuals are fuzzy and glitchy, evoking a dream-like state. Users can navigate through various landscapes similar to a blurry Google Street View, albeit for a limited time of two and a half minutes per session. The approach represents a significant experimental leap towards the convergence of video and gaming.
