Working with Datatonic and Google Cloud, Hiber has enhanced its 3D world creation tools by integrating generative AI technology, a development revealed at the recent Google Cloud Next event. This development in Hiber3D allows users to craft 3D worlds using text prompts, aiming to make 3D environment creation more user-friendly. Users have the ability to incrementally enhance the virtual world through text commands, such as incorporating a tower or a moat. The Sweden-based company, which has facilitated the creation of over five million 3D worlds on its platform HiberWorld, plans to further support creators with a range of services including a forthcoming AI assistant to offer live suggestions during the creation process. This company, backed by $20 million in funding, also has partnerships with brands such as Tommy Hilfiger to develop virtual spaces, showcasing the potential for expansive interconnected 3D environments.
Summary
The Purpose
To simplify 3D virtual world creation
The Idea
Use generative AI to enable text-to-3D construction
Further Possibilities
1. Educational simulations
Teachers could create immersive 3D environments to simulate historical events or scientific phenomena, offering students a hands-on learning experience through virtual field trips.
2. Mental health therapy
Therapists could use this technology to create calming 3D environments tailored to individual patient preferences, potentially aiding in therapy sessions and relaxation techniques.
3. Film and animation
Filmmakers and animators could use text prompts to quickly draft and visualize scenes or settings, streamlining the pre-production process and fostering creativity through easy iteration.
4. Personalized storytelling
Authors and storytellers could create interactive 3D storybooks where the environment changes based on the narrative, offering a new dimension to storytelling.
5. Fitness and rehabilitation
In the fitness and rehabilitation sector, personalized 3D environments could be created to simulate different terrains for treadmill or virtual reality workouts, aiding in rehabilitation and training programs.
