Reminds me of this [1] HN post from 9 months ago, where the author trained a neural network to do world emulation from video recordings of their local park — you can walk around in their interactive demo [2].

I don't have access to the DeepMind demo, but from the video it looks like it takes the idea up a notch.

(I don't know the exact lineage of these ideas, but a general observation is that it's a shame that it's the norm for blog posts / indie demos to not get cited.)
