The project’s innovative approach centres on two distinct VR games designed to empower different audiences to take meaningful action against atmospheric pollution. The first, an escape game, is aimed at the general public. Players find themselves aboard the ‘Blue Sky Explorer’ station, where they must solve riddles in two specialised rooms: ‘The Lab’, which focuses on the health and environmental impacts of pollutants, and ‘The Monitor’, which identifies their sources. By participating in 20-minute sessions, citizens learn about air quality issues and leave informed about personal choices in their daily lives

World models are AI systems that accurately simulate physical reality. How objects move and collide, for example, or how light behaves, or liquid flows. Google DeepMind recently released the astonishing new Genie 3 model; Demis Hassabis calls world models a crucial part of anything we can call true AGI. OpenAI is rumoured to be building a rival. Yann LeCun — Meta's AI chief for years — has left the company to launch his own world model startup.
