Creating with AI World Models

​Guest Workshop: Creating with AI World Models

​What comes after AR? 👀

​After previously joining the NYU Design Lab for a workshop on building augmented reality experiences with Lens Studio, Willem Helmet Pickleman returns to explore AI World Models and their potential for creative practice.

​Since his time at Snapchat, Willem has focused on developing creative tools for emerging technologies including Gaussian Splatting and World Models. World Models represent a new frontier in generative AI, enabling the creation and simulation of interactive environments in real time.

​In this guest workshop, we’ll explore how World Models work, experiment with emerging tools, and consider what they could mean for the future of 3D design, spatial computing, and creative technology.

​Come curious — no prior experience required.
