Class-agnostic 3D instance segmentation is critical for robotic systems operating in unknown environments, enabling perception of previously unseen objects for reliable manipulation and navigation. Existing approaches typically project per-frame 2D instance masks into 3D and merge them, which often breaks object identities across time and yields fragmented 3D instances.

Real-world spatial intelligence requires agents to understand scenes from continuous video streams, where objects move, persist, disappear, and reappear over time. While recent spatial foundation models have enabled generalizable feed-forward 3D reconstruction, most streaming methods remain geometry-centric and lack temporally consistent object-level understanding.
Recent advancements in 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) have enabled language-guided scene understanding. However, existing Referring 3D Gaussian Splatting (R3DGS) methods are fundamentally restricted to single-target queries.

Interactive segmentation of 3D Gaussians offers a compelling opportunity for real-time manipulation of 3D scenes, thanks to the real-time rendering capability of 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS). However, existing methods require a time-consuming per-scene setup - typically tens of seconds or even minutes - before interactive segmentation can begin on a raw 3DGS scene.

Video panoptic segmentation (VPS) aims to jointly detect, segment, and track all objects while partitioning the video into semantically consistent regions. We introduce the task setting of unsupervised VPS, omitting any human supervision.
