World Labs has launched Atlas, which it calls its next generation world model, along with tools and developer APIs for generating and reconstructing 3D worlds. The product page gives no launch date.
Two tools anchor the release. Viewfinder takes uploaded photos or generated images, rebuilds the scene, and lets users fly a camera through it, with camera paths and video renders as output. Chisel lets users block out a scene to guide its structure, and every camera view updates as objects move.
On export, World Labs says splats can be turned into meshes with real geometry, so worlds can travel into games, simulations, and existing 3D software. The API, according to the company, brings Atlas into outside applications, Blender included. It names film and VFX, architecture and design, and robotics research as target uses.
The page offers no benchmarks, pricing, or independent testing. Mesh conversion decides whether these worlds are usable assets or viewing demos, so 3D teams should run it on their own photos before planning around Atlas.
Based on the Atlas product page from World Labs (worldlabs.ai), which carries no publication date.
