The gist
Runway Labs Unveils Project Continuum OS Research App Built on Video
The project signals Runway's exploration of video generation as a foundation for software interfaces, moving beyond conventional UI conventions. It is framed as operating-system research rather than a shipping product.
The full picture
Runway Labs released Project Continuum, an operating system research application built around real-time video interfaces. The project presents four interaction paradigms: Portals, Visual Thinking, Responsive Video Interfaces, and Interactive Worlds. Runway groups these under a category it calls Interface World Models, citing Solaris as an example. Runway describes the release as an early look, placing it in a research or pre-release stage.
How it developed
First in the edition · 3 October 2026
Runway Labs announced Project Continuum on October 2, an operating system research application built around real-time video interfaces, introducing four paradigms: Portals, Visual Thinking, Responsive Video Interfaces, and Interactive Worlds.
Runway describes the release as an early look. At an AI Summit the same day, Runway CTO Kamil Sindi presented Solaris, which Runway calls a World Interface Model, saying it is "a new kind of operating system that builds itself as you interact with it" and that "every frame is generated in real-time in response to your intention". Sindi described a vision of "a future where all software is generated. Without a single line of code".
