Population explores a simple idea: how do individual choices, AI, and public policy shape life together? We’re building a virtual testbed to explore those questions through simulation.
Today: this early alpha lets you explore a shared environment. Marina Bay is the first setting, not the scope of the project. Simulated residents and policy experiments are not implemented yet.
Where we’re going: we plan to add simulated residents, social interactions, and tools for comparing policy choices. The goal is to explore how societies might behave, test assumptions, and learn from different outcomes. These are planned capabilities, not predictions about real communities.
Drag to orbit. Scroll to move closer. Right-drag to pan. Choose a waterfront viewpoint, or take a slow tour around the bay.
Walk: click the walker icon, then click the scene. Use W A S D and your mouse. Shift moves faster; Escape releases the mouse. Press H to hide or restore the interface, or use Show UI to bring it back.
An early exploration of people, AI, and society.
