Runway previews GWM Worlds 2 for real-time interactive 720p video and audio worlds
- Runway's GWM Worlds 2 generates interactive worlds continuously at 720p and 24 fps, with live audio at 48 kHz, and responds to inputs during exploration.
- The model takes a persistent WorldPrompt containing scene, subjects, laws, ambience, and an initial frame, then continues the session rather than rendering a fixed clip or script.
- A timestamped event stream controls movements, gestures, object interactions, speech, sounds, and scene-level changes; several actions can overlap and target either a subject or the scene.
- Runway fine-tuned its foundational audio-video generation model on WorldPrompt, including per-frame camera translation and rotation controls alongside free-form text actions.
- Runway describes the research preview as a basis for interactive entertainment, virtual characters, robotics and embodied-agent simulation, plus generative design and interfaces.
