World Labs

What is World Labs?

World Labs is a spatial AI platform for creators and teams that turns text, images, videos, 360 panoramas, or 3D layouts into editable 3D worlds. Marble combines multimodal inputs, 3D layout control, interactive editing, and expand-and-combine workflows to keep scenes coherent as they grow. It exports to Unreal Engine, Three.js, and NVIDIA Isaac Sim, and the public site shows projects like Memory House and OpenArt Worlds.

What does World Labs do?

Marble turns text, images, videos, 360 panoramas, or 3D layouts into spatially consistent 3D worlds you can move through, edit, and inhabit. Its workflow combines multimodal inputs, precise layout control, and interactive editing so creators can shape specific elements or reshape an entire scene without losing coherence. The result is a persistent world model that can be expanded and combined into larger environments, then exported in multiple 2D and 3D formats for downstream pipelines. World Labs positions Marble as a foundation for storytelling, design, simulation, and immersive experiences, with case studies spanning virtual production, AI filmmaking, and real-time production workflows. World Labs also publishes tutorials and documentation through Marble Labs, but it does not advertise a developer API surface on the public site.

Why use World Labs?

Marble keeps generated worlds spatially consistent and persistent, so teams can revise scenes without the environment drifting.
Its multimodal input support lets buyers start from text, images, video, or 360 panoramas instead of a single prompt type.
3D layout control gives creators a way to direct composition before generation, which reduces trial-and-error editing.
Exportable 2D and 3D outputs make it easier to move Marble scenes into downstream creative and production pipelines.
Marble Labs adds tutorials, documentation, and case studies, which helps teams learn workflows instead of guessing.

Who is World Labs for?

Film and virtual production teams who need stable 3D environments for scenes and shots.
Game and immersive media creators who want explorable worlds from reference images or layouts.
Designers and artists who need interactive control over generated spatial scenes.
Simulation builders who need persistent worlds they can expand, combine, and export.
Product teams experimenting with spatial storytelling and AI-native 3D workflows.

What are World Labs's key features?

Multimodal inputs

Create worlds from images, text, and other inputs, then refine them in Marble. This matters when teams need to turn mixed source material into spatial scenes quickly.

Create from 3D layouts

Build scenes from 3D layouts with Chisel, giving direct control over structure before generation. It helps preserve spatial intent when moving from concept to world creation.

Interactive editing

Edit generated worlds in Studio and stitch scenes together for iteration. That matters for teams that need to adjust composition without restarting from scratch.

Expand and combine worlds

Extend existing worlds and merge multiple scenes into one larger environment. This supports bigger projects that need continuity across connected spaces.

Versatile outputs

Export worlds for use across Unreal Engine, Three.js, and NVIDIA Isaac Sim. That makes it easier to reuse generated spatial content in production pipelines.

imagine

Use imagine to generate spatial scenes from prompts and reference material inside Marble. It helps teams move from idea to a first world draft faster.

explore

Use explore to navigate generated spaces and inspect layout details in Marble. This matters for checking scale, flow, and scene coherence before sharing.

simulate

Use simulate to test world behavior in environments like NVIDIA Isaac Sim. It helps teams evaluate spatial setups before building downstream experiences.

What are World Labs's use cases?

Virtual production scene blocking

Film and virtual production teams use World Labs to turn reference images or rough layouts into stable 3D environments for shots, using Create from 3D layouts and Interactive editing to block scenes faster. They can then Expand and combine worlds to keep continuity across sequences.

Explorable worlds for game teams

Game and immersive media creators use World Labs to generate explorable worlds from concept art, floor plans, or mood boards, using Multimodal inputs and explore to move from reference to playable space. Versatile outputs help them carry those worlds into downstream engines and formats.

Spatial control for designers

Designers and artists use World Labs to shape generated spatial scenes with hands-on precision, relying on Interactive editing and Chisel: 3D Layout Control to adjust composition without starting over. They can iterate toward a scene that matches the intended look and feel.

Persistent worlds for simulation

Simulation builders use World Labs to create persistent worlds they can expand, combine, and export, using simulate and Expand and combine worlds to keep environments coherent as they grow. Versatile outputs make it easier to move those worlds into broader workflows.

How does World Labs work?

Start with Multimodal inputs by uploading reference images, sketches, or layouts, then choose imagine to generate an initial spatial world from your source material.
Refine the scene in Chisel: 3D Layout Control, adjusting structure and placement until the world matches your intended composition and spatial relationships.
Use Interactive editing to make targeted changes, then switch to explore to inspect the environment from different viewpoints and catch issues early.
Combine related scenes with Expand and combine worlds, preserving continuity as you build larger environments or stitch multiple generated spaces together.
Export through Versatile outputs, then reuse the result in downstream tools or workflows; return to simulate when you need persistent worlds for ongoing iteration.
