Researchers from Google just revealed what they call “a space-time diffusion model for video generation.” Translation: if you prompt the platform with “A dog driving a car wearing funny sunglasses,” it will generate a five-second video of exactly that. Lumiere users have the ability to customize the video style and make edits, such as changing the outfit of the subject. The platform can also animate still photos, effectively bringing them to life. Watch it in action here.

Today we’re taking a look at a fuzzy running jacket, a new security camera and a bougie salt holder. This is Today in Gear.

ORTLIEB

Velcro fasteners make it easy to take the bag on and off quickly.
