arXiv:2512. 02473v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Video world models have attracted significant attention for their ability to produce high-fidelity future visual observations conditioned on past observations and navigation actions.
Video world models enable interactive exploration of dynamic environments, yet struggle to respect prior observations over long horizons and across viewpoints. We present WorldCrafter, a video world m...
WorldCrafter is a video world model that introduces a camera‑queryable implicit 3D‑aware memory to improve long‑horizon consistency and viewpoint control. The model compresses multi‑view evidence into a limited token budget shaped by the requested viewpoint, integrating historical observations via a memory encoder and pose‑conditioned readout before denoising. Experiments on static and dynamic scenes demonstrate significant gains in consistency and camera‑control accuracy while maintaining visual quality during minute‑scale exploration.

DiffWAM is a geometry‑conditioned navigation world‑action model that transforms predictive features from a frozen video foundation model into continuous camera trajectories, eliminating the need for future‑video synthesis and multi‑frame reconstruction during deployment. Its Grid‑Motion module preserves spatial‑temporal motion associations, while Latent2Pose grounds them with first‑frame geometry to recover metrically meaningful 3D motion. The system, complemented by FastDreamer for asynchronous trajectory handoff, achieves a trajectory RMSE of 0.3492 m and a 74.40 % endpoint success rate on the DiffWAM‑1000 benchmark, with real‑world tests showing complex UAV behaviors and an onboard implementation reaching 1.08 s latency on NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor.

SpatialCrafter introduces a two‑stage framework for single‑image world modeling that first generates a global 3D proxy using a Point‑anchored Sparse Structure Flow module, then refines appearance with a Generative Deferred Refiner built on a video diffusion model. The method incorporates Parallel Geometry Injection and Proxy‑Aware Corruption training to integrate the proxy without disrupting the pretrained generative manifold, and it is evaluated on a newly constructed dataset of 115K scenes. Experiments demonstrate that SpatialCrafter outperforms existing approaches, reducing long‑term drift and maintaining consistency under rapid camera motion and extreme viewpoints.
We present MoVerse, a real-time video world model that creates an interactively navigable scene from a single narrow-field-of-view image. This setting is challenging because the input observes only a small fraction of the environment, while interactive roaming requires a complete surrounding world, persistent geometry, controllable camera motion, and temporally coherent high-fidelity observations.
