The next step for view synthesis: Perpetual View Generation, where the goal is to take an image to fly into it and explore the landscape. This task is extremely complex and will improve over time. The goal of this task is to generate an entire bird-view video in the wanted direction from a single picture. This is done using a state-of-the-art network called MiDaS, which I will not enter into. It can generate what it would look like to imagine in just a couple of papers down the line how useful this technology can be for video games or flight simulators.
