World Labs

World Labs is leaning into the holidays with a new seasonal competition built around its flagship platform, Marble. The company has launched a winter themed Marble challenge, inviting creators to produce short form videos, interactive experiences, or live demos entirely generated using Marble.

Participants are encouraged to create anything they like, so long as the world itself is built in Marble and clearly reflects a winter or holiday theme. Submissions can range from cinematic flythroughs to interactive scenes and live demos.

To qualify, entries must include a video of at least 30 seconds or a live demo link, with creators allowed to submit up to three separate projects. The submission deadline is January 4, giving artists, developers, and experimenters a short window to explore seasonal ideas inside Marble’s generative workflow.

Winners will receive a mix of cash prizes, featured promotion across World Labs’ social channels, and additional perks and branded World Labs swag. While the company hasn’t framed the contest around a specific industry vertical, the format naturally lends itself to everything from atmospheric world building and environment design to PhysicalAI.

Submissions are being collected through World Labs’ community Discord channel, with creators asked to share their work in the dedicated winter contest space.

From Gaussian Splat Captures to Interactive XR Experiences

The first time you orbit a good 3DGS capture your brain starts treating it like something you stepped into. This is called the "Wow" effect.
