Local Man Finally Discovers Way to Physically Enter Pictures; Expects To Live Happily Inside That Selfie With Giraffe Forever
In a world-shattering revelation that’s surely going to make everyone question their never-quite-right passports, World Labs has introduced a miraculous invention allowing users to step inside any image and actually live all of their phony Instagram fantasies. This breakthrough was achieved by the scientific ninja, Fei-Fei Li, whose apparent day job involves collapsing the last remaining barriers between reality and “Hey, look where I might have been last weekend!”
According to reports, World Labs’ cutting-edge AI tech now lets users navigate through images turned into explorable, 3D environments using nothing but a keyboard and mouse—essential tools for any professional fantasy tourist. Essentially, you can now stroll through your aunt’s questionable vacation photos or virtually punch every “I Love You” poster in your nephew’s nursery room. Truly, the possibilities are endless and marginally creepy.
“It’s going to revolutionize how we think about digital spaces,” commented a spokesperson proudly, while also clarifying the company takes no responsibility for customers walking into trees or off cliffs in these simulated environments, emotionally or otherwise. “Finally, you can ignore the grandeur of the Grand Canyon in real-time without leaving your home.”
Tech enthusiasts are particularly thrilled about the real-time camera effects like depth-of-field and dolly zoom that can add several layers of cinematic drama to your already Oscar-worthy album of breakfast photos. “The lighting sliders alone make my toast look like it’s jumping out at me,” enthused one user who was clearly having the most electric existential crisis of his life.
When probed about potential novel uses for this technological indemnity, a World Labs engineer shrugged and replied, “It’ll probably be used for games and films, sure—but, let’s be honest, it’ll mostly be for people trying to escape their current subconscious prison of reality. Honestly, God help us all if someone figures out how to bring their mother-in-law along into one of these immersive experiences.”
Also, apparently OpenAI’s considering ads in its products, presumably so you can begin receiving spam emails about how to lose weight while exploring Monet’s Water Lilies from the inside.
Anyway, get ready to dive headfirst into that picture of your meal; you might find adventure (or food poisoning) in your burrito yet!
