NVIDIA Lyra 2.0 turns a single image into an explorable 3D world
NVIDIA has showcased Lyra 2.0, a framework that turns a single photograph into a persistent, explorable 3D environment with user-controlled camera movement. Developed by NVIDIA's Spatial Intelligence Lab, it combines AI video generation with 3D reconstruction. The research was first published in April 2026, and NVIDIA is now highlighting it ahead of SIGGRAPH Asia 2026.
