Why it’s interesting
Microsoft Research turned a world model into a controllable Quake II technical demo whose next frames are generated at more than ten frames per second rather than loaded from a stored level.
The space ahead appears only after you press a movement key, making the demo feel like steering through a machine dream with a game controller.
How to try it
Choose Play WHAM-RT from the WHAM project page; the Copilot Labs demo may require a Microsoft account, a supported region, and an available experiment slot.
Use the official page or demonstration as the current reference. Do not assume that a staged installation, limited experiment, account-gated demo, subscription feature, or physical product is available everywhere.
