A new web app called Sand simulates realistic grain physics using WebGL2 and JavaScript, running directly in a browser on phones, tablets and desktops. Users can interact with the simulated sand by touching the screen to push grains, tilting the device to make sand slide, or shaking it to scatter particles.
Google announced Genie 4, a real-time world model that builds on Gemini Omni and can maintain a consistent simulated environment for up to two minutes, double its Genie 3 predecessor. Users can alter scenes in real time with natural language prompts, including weather, camera movement, and new objects or characters, while the model generates ambient sound and adaptive human dialogue. Genie 4 works alongside Gemini 3.8 Flash, which breaks down prompts into steps, and is currently limited to select trusted testers in a research preview.
