Upload a Photo, Instantly Build a 3D World: Ling Guang App Brings World Model to Mobile First

With just a photo and a smartphone, you can step into an AI-generated world.

On April 27, the Ant Lingguang App officially launched its "Experience World Model" feature, making it the first AGI product to offer world model experiences on a mobile device. Users simply upload a photo and can explore a 3D world for up to 60 seconds on their phone, with the ability to control their perspective as if playing a mobile game. From initiating the command to beginning the exploration takes mere seconds. This marks the first time the industry has achieved edge deployment of a world model with minute-level long-term consistency and real-time interactivity, once again setting the pace for AGI products. Lingguang has always been dedicated to pushing the boundaries of intelligence; earlier, it launched the "Flash App" feature, the first to generate an application on a mobile device within 30 seconds, spearheading the trend of "wish coding."

(Step-by-step: Open Lingguang, tap the "+" at bottom left to upload an image, then select "Generate the World in the Picture" to start exploring.)

The world model is considered a critical path toward AGI (General Artificial Intelligence) and an essential bridge connecting the digital and physical worlds. The "Experience World Model" feature in the Lingguang App is powered by the open-sourced Ant Lingbo LingBot-World-Fast world model.

Lingguang makes it easy to experience the world model. Open the app, upload a photo in the chat box, and the system intelligently suggests the next step—choose "Generate the World in the Picture." Alternatively, type a natural language prompt like "Show me this world from a first-person view," and the model starts generating in seconds.

Once inside the world model experience, Lingguang features a mobile-friendly dual-joystick interface. The left joystick moves the character through the 3D scene, while the right joystick rotates the view, allowing seamless exploration. This control scheme, familiar to mobile gamers, ensures zero learning curve for immersive exploration.

Deploying world models on mobile devices presents significant engineering challenges—high computational demands, tight latency constraints, and varying hardware. The Lingguang team overcame these using efficient, low-latency streaming technology, achieving response times under 100 milliseconds. This enables users to start exploring the 3D world within seconds, shattering the perception that world models are inherently resource-intensive and impractical.

Cai Wei, head of the Lingguang App, commented: "The Experience World Model feature is another step in Lingguang's journey to push the boundaries of intelligence. Our earlier Flash App function allowed users to generate a full application from natural language in just 30 seconds, giving everyday users the coding power once reserved for professional developers. Lingguang aims to continuously explore these frontiers, uncover unmet needs, and deliver great AI experiences to everyone."

Currently, the Lingguang App is available for download from major app stores, where users can immediately try the world model feature.
