Context
In this exclusive interview with BTW Media, Cai Yiming, the founder of CREATE WORLD, introduce the company is an innovative platform designed to revolutionise 3D content creation through the power of advanced AI technology. By simplifying the process of generating intricate 3D digital scenes, CREATE WORLD makes it accessible to users of all skill levels, from professionals to hobbyists. The platform serves a wide range of industries, including smart cities, interior design, gaming, and entertainment, aiming to transform traditional workflows and enhance creativity. A: CREATE WORLD is a very early-stage startup established in May 2024. Our main product is an AI-driven three-dimensional digital world generation engine that allows users to create 3D digital scenes using AI. This can be applied in various fields, including augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), the Metaverse, and industrial applications like smart cities and interior design. Essentially, we provide services that require 3D scenes.

Analysis
A: Our target audience is quite broad, as CREATE WORLD is developing a universal 3D generation engine. We hope that in the future, everyone can create scene-level 3D content as easily as describing text or taking photographs. While we are creating a universal engine, we can provide services in many directions. Many industries around us involve 3D content—not just smart cities and interior design, but also construction, industrial smart sites, smart factories, gaming, film, and entertainment. Of course, in our early stages, we will still focus on our initial direction. This allows us to complete tasks more quickly and at a lower cost, enabling more people to directly use our software to create their own 3D worlds. A: Currently, companies that provide scene-level modelling services are generally midstream in the industry chain. They typically employ professional modellers using foreign software like 3DS MAX, Blender, or possibly Maya in gaming to complete these specialised tasks. This process is costly and time-consuming, leading to a severe shortage of 3D content for the average consumer. Our advantage lies in the fact that the vast majority of our work is completed by AI—95% of a scene may be generated by AI. This allows us to complete tasks more quickly and at a lower cost, enabling more people to directly use our software to create their own 3D worlds. Rapid 3D generation for social media is also something we can support. A: We do have some technical innovations. Without delving too deeply into the technical details, our greatest achievement to date is single-view 3D scene generation. We can take a single-angle image—specifically, a photograph taken casually with a mobile phone—and fully generate a three-dimensional digital representation of the content within that photo in a standard format that most software can open. We can then further render it into videos or images, allowing people to view or modify it. This represents a significant technical advantage for us.
