Runway's new model generates a playable world at 24 frames a second.
Runway announced GWM Worlds 2 on 3 September, a system that makes interactive video in real time. It streams 720p footage with sound, and users can walk around, talk to characters and change scenes. Access is a research preview, so you have to ask Runway for it.
