4D dynamic scene understanding requires grounding language to a persistent worldline that binds identity, metric 3D motion, and synchronized multi-view 2D projections. Existing paradigms capture only part of this structure: large multimodal models reason over rich visual evidence but rarely preserve metric topology, while vision-language tracking remains tied to fragmented 2D or 3D outputs and local continuation.
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.

arXiv:2608. 11017v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-horizon egocentric video is a rich substrate for wearable AI assistants, but object-centric questions such as where an item was moved, when it last changed state, or why it was relocated remain difficult because caption- and transcript-based memories rarely preserve persistent object identity or structured spatial change.

arXiv:2608. 07267v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent vision-language navigation (VLN) systems increasingly adapt pretrained vision-language models (VLMs) into vision-language-action (VLA) policies that map egocentric observations and language instructions directly to navigation actions.
Long-horizon egocentric video is a rich substrate for wearable AI assistants, but object-centric questions such as where an item was moved, when it last changed state, or why it was relocated remain difficult because caption- and transcript-based memories rarely preserve persistent object identity or structured spatial change. Existing long-video QA methods mainly emphasize temporal grounding and clip retrieval, while prior 3D scene-graph methods typically assume stronger geometry than free-motion wearable RGB video provides, including point clouds, RGB-D input, posed views, sparse reconstruction, or reconstructed scenes.
arXiv:2607. 25487v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models translate natural-language commands into robot action sequences, but leading systems on the LIBERO-Plus robustness benchmark use three- to seven-billion-parameter backbones whose memory demands can exceed embedded robotic budgets.
arXiv:2607. 02222v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language Navigation has increasingly emphasized high-level instruction reasoning, memory, global map construction, and instruction decomposition, while the low-level action representation remains comparatively underexplored.
