Runway, a New York City-based AI startup, has launched advanced camera controls for its Gen-3 Alpha Turbo video generation model. According to an article by Carl Franzen, these new features allow users to zoom in and out of AI-generated scenes while preserving character forms and settings, creating a realistic 3D world. The camera controls provide a higher level of precision compared to previous AI video generators, including Runway’s own earlier versions. Runway CEO Crisóbal Valenzuela hinted that the company is developing “world models” to simulate physical environments, as mentioned by CTO Anastasis Germanidis in December 2023.
