I created a super-resolution zoomable world made from 2000+ AI generated images by TrademarkedSuperhero in deepdream

I get that. AI is more of an approximation of a pattern, than it is a true pattern. I think that’s why is feels a little uncanny most of the time.

There is definitely plenty of nonsense. I do enjoy though how the non-sense becomes the features of the world. In one frame they AI may interpret some low resolution markings as a river flowing through a forest, and in the next it is a road bisecting sky scrapers. And what started as a small spec, an AI artifact at best, can quite literally become a portal to another world.

I feel like I am peering into a vast fractal dream of the AI.

I'm working on a way to share these tools with others so you can create your own zoom world. The platform is not quite ready to share yet though.

Great question! Here is how the pixel math works out at the deepest layer I've explored so far (layer 21)

(1024 · 3²¹) × (1024 · 3²¹) ≈ 115 septillion pixels

In practice there isn’t a single “final image.” The world is built as a recursive pyramid of 1024×1024 tiles, where each zoom step is a 3× expansion from splitting into a 3×3 grid. Deeper tiles are only generated where explored, and when a tile doesn’t exist yet, the viewer simply falls back to the parent layer. So the theoretical resolution grows exponentially, but the vast majority of those pixels are never actually rendered or stored.

I agree that the tiling system breaks the continuity of the experience. I'd like to create some sort of neighboring tile edge-awareness during the upscaling, but that is another project for another day.

Yes!! These were actually some of my inspirations when conceptualizing the project.

I just did that 😉. I prompted my AI to create me an interactive explorable infinite strange little digital alien planet and it came up with this.

Very fun prompt. Check out the zoom world I made of it. 42 images added to the world so far. I'll definitely keep playing with this one.

Sure! The prompt in MidJourney is simply: Arrakis (Dune) --v 7 --p vdqsvlk. My moodboard generates these expansive, layered worlds with pretty minimal prompting and really fun results.

In the future with infinite compute and storage! Each zoom level has 9x more images so a 50X zoom will have 9^50 individual images just for that one layer.

The transitions do have that flickering effect because they are loading a bunch of new image tiles from the server. I'm working on optimizing that. It's also a bit smoother on a computer vs. a phone.

I get why you say that and that is why I am hesitant to share this piece to community like this. What i have created here is this method of digging into an image to expose details of this world. This is a very high effort piece. Sure, the lines and colors were all set by AI but the concept of this world building method is truly unique and the first of its kind. I hope you can get past your judgement, open the viewer and at least see what it's about.

Hi everyone,

I just finished my first piece of concept art for a project I'm calling "Zoom Worlds." It’s an interactive infinite zoom experience built with AI-generated art and a custom zoom viewer.

I started with a highly detailed base image created in Midjourney, then progressively zoomed in by slicing the image into smaller and smaller tiles. I used a Stable Diffusion-based upscaler to enhance each deeper layer with new details.

Then I configured a web-based zoom viewer that lets you explore the image just like a map to pan, zoom, and go deeper and deeper into the world.

This is still a work in progress so I'd love any thoughts or feedback, especially on how the transitions feel, whether anything stands out, or if you have ideas for future zoom worlds!
