Odyssey announces a new era in entertainment with its first interactive video experience. Starting as an AI lab accelerating film and game production, they now present interactive videos you can watch and control in real time using your keyboard, phone, or controller. Think of it as an early Holodeck.

A research preview of interactive video

Powered by a cutting-edge world model, Odyssey’s video generates realistic scenes, learns from actions, and streams fresh frames every 40 milliseconds. Though still experimental and glitchy, it’s a new way to tell stories using AI instead of traditional engines.

Powered by a world model

This model predicts the next video frame based on current scenes and your actions, making every viewing unique and interactive, unlike normal videos that play the same way every time.

Learning from real-world video

By training on real-life footage instead of simple games, Odyssey’s model learns lifelike visuals and natural actions, unlocking new creative possibilities.

Real-time streaming

Streaming at 30 FPS with minimal delay, this tech runs on powerful GPUs and costs about $1–$2 per user-hour, with improvements lowering costs fast.

A new form of video is emerging

Interactive video will transform entertainment, education, ads, and more, enabling instant, personalized stories. Odyssey invites everyone to try this exciting research preview and share their thoughts.
