Google DeepMind has announced Genie 4, an AI model for generating interactive virtual scenes. According to the company, people can move through a scene with a keyboard and use text instructions to alter it. The model can also produce sound, including speech.

Google says a research preview is available to trusted testers, while wider access is planned later. It also warns that details can drift during longer sessions, so the scenes do not always remain consistent.
