A location you can shoot from any direction. Sightline generates a 360-degree panorama of a place from a description, then lets you frame shots inside it, setting focal length, aspect ratio, camera height, tilt and roll, with the environment staying the same from every angle. The panorama exports for 3D, to use as the environment in a scene. It shipped as an app in [Runway App Studio](https://aifilmhistory.org/entry/runway-app-studio), two weeks after App Studio launched.

It addresses one of AI film's oldest continuity problems, the set that changes every time the camera turns, with the oldest fix: build the location once and point the camera into it. Because a panorama has no depth, the camera can pan, tilt and zoom but not move through the space, which is the job world models like [Marble](https://aifilmhistory.org/entry/world-labs-marble) and [Genie 4](https://aifilmhistory.org/entry/genie-4) were taking on.
