This generative AI startup is strapping cameras to people’s backs


A startup founded by an ex-Cruise exec is strapping cameras to peoples' backs to capture data to train 'world models.'

A startup is training an AI model that it claims will enable creators to generate cinematic worlds, with complete control over the scenery, characters, lighting, and motion. Bearing a resemblance to Google’s Street View Trekker, the system can capture its surroundings in “3.5K resolution” and 360 degrees, with “physics-accurate” depth information metadata attached. Odyssey today announced that it secured $18 million in a Series A funding round led by EQT Ventures with participation from GV and Air Street Capital.
