Apples on the Table? Evaluating Text-Guided 3D Scene Synthesis via Fine-Grained Constraint Verification

The paper introduces LEGO, a benchmark dataset pairing user text descriptions with human‑annotated fine‑grained constraints and reference 3D scenes, and LEGO‑Eval, an evaluation framework that decomposes descriptions into atomic constraints and verifies each using grounding and spatial reasoning tools. It demonstrates that LEGO‑Eval detects misalignment more accurately than existing methods and that current 3D scene synthesis approaches achieve at most a 10% success rate on this benchmark.

SceneTeract: Probing and Improving Agent-Aware Activity Reasoning in 3D Indoor Scenes

SceneTeract is a verification interface that separates semantic action understanding from physical feasibility in indoor 3D scenes. It decomposes activities into atomic actions and performs explicit geometric checks to determine executability, providing diagnostic traces for failures. The system reveals widespread functional and accessibility issues in synthetic scenes, shows that existing VLMs over‑predict action feasibility, and improves VLM performance through post‑training with verifier feedback, with benefits that generalize to real‑world scenes.

VoxProg: 3D Spatial Reasoning through Voxel Programming

VoxProg introduces voxel programming for 3D spatial reasoning, enabling language models to translate task interpretations into executable programs that operate on local voxel views of scene surfaces. By indexing surface geometry on regular grids, the approach isolates task-relevant regions and boundaries, allowing downstream pose programs to compute target SE(3) poses. The method is evaluated on the 71-task VoxProg-Bench benchmark, showing consistent superiority over relation-based, keypoint-based, and mesh-based baselines.

LangMap: A Human-Verified Benchmark for Hierarchical Open-Vocabulary Goal Navigation

LangMap introduces a human‑verified benchmark for language‑conditioned goal navigation (LGN) that spans four hierarchical semantic levels—scene, room, region, and instance—within real‑world indoor 3D scans. The dataset, built on HM3D, contains 18K tasks with concise and detailed descriptions for 414 object categories, and its contrastive annotation protocol ensures high‑quality, discriminative region and instance labels. Evaluation shows that LangMap’s descriptions improve text‑to‑view matching accuracy by 23 points over GOAT‑Bench and achieve a 92.5% unique‑and‑correct match rate in an independent human audit, while a proposed RGB‑only baseline, PlaNaVid, attains top‑tier success rates without depth or 3D scene representations.
