A developer demonstrated GPT-Image-2's ability to generate near-perfect 360-degree panoramas, then batch-generated them via the API to build a GeoGuessr-style time travel game (1,560↑, 99 comments on r/singularity). The capability to produce spatially coherent panoramas from text prompts — where left and right edges seamlessly connect — was not present in previous image models. This opens a new category of procedural environment generation for games, VR, and simulation without 3D rendering pipelines.
