With its enhanced controllability, Sora 2 can follow complex instructions that span multiple scenes while maintaining consistency in the simulated environment, producing content in realistic, cinematic, and anime styles. The model also integrates synchronized dialogue and sound effects, generating sophisticated background soundscapes and speech with high realism. One of the unique features of Sora 2 is the ability to inject real-world elements directly into generated scenes, allowing users to place themselves or their friends into virtual environments with accurate likeness in appearance and voice through a quick video and audio recording.
The Sora app, which is powered by Sora 2, offers a social platform where users can create, remix, and share video generations. It emphasizes community connection through features like 'cameos' that let users appear in videos interactively with their friends. To promote healthy engagement, the app includes personalized feed controls, wellbeing checks, and safety mechanisms such as limits for teen users and parental controls via ChatGPT. At launch, Sora 2 is free to use with generous limits, with plans to introduce paid options for extra usage in the future, aiming to balance user creativity and wellbeing responsibly.
