THROUGH THE DEPTHS OF TIME
Stepping Inside an AI-Generated Film — A Journey Through Time with Gaussian Splats

What if you could step inside a film?
Through the Depths of Time is a cinematic journey through pivotal moments in human history, from the earliest use of fire to the rise of artificial intelligence. Created using generative AI, the film unfolds as a continuous journey, with each scene transforming into the next like fragments of a reconstructed memory.
Extending beyond the screen, the accompanying VR experience brings the film into immersive 3D space through Gaussian splatting and other reconstruction techniques. Viewers can move beyond watching history unfold and step inside the environments to explore them for themselves.
