People complaining that it's a small area, lol my man, this is fucking insane, i know AI is starting to get normalized, but they converted an image into a 3d world! even if its 1ft/1ft its still amazing.


The issue is that they are overselling it. It's not a world, it's a 3D image at best.


We recently added an environment creator for our VR game which does kinda a similar thing but for even less freedom of movement, so I think I have a little bit of insight into it.

After seeing what they are showing on their page I am majorly impressed and don't feel they are misleading anyone at all


Nice! Is the environment creator available as standalone? What format do you output?


The prompting is done from the browser and it's then automatically added in the game so the next time you do your workout it is already there to select.

The environment is 2.5D so mostly a displaced depth map but with some additional logic to keep the ground and horizon sane.

We aren't planning to do it for external use but it is creating a glb that you can download in theory if you know where it points to on our server


Very nice, thanks for sharing. Are you using any open source model?

I maintain and open source framework called A-Frame for Web based 3D, VR, AR and the community would love something like that

Keep up the good work


You are the maintainer of A-Frame? That's awesome.

We used GodotEngine in the past when it was still called VRWorkout but had to switch to Unity due to business reasons.

The environment creator uses several off the shelf models under the hood with custom loras and blender at the end to create the exportable meshes.

Users usually need to workout in the game to achieve coins to generate environments because we have no actual monetization behind it, so we can't have people generate endless amounts of environments, but if you want to try it out send me a message at michael -at- xrworkout.io and I'll set you up so you can try it.
