OctWorld is a video diffusion framework that uses a persistent 3D memory called OctMap to generate long‑range, world‑consistent videos from a single image. OctMap fuses visual observations and depth maps into a dynamic sparse octree, adapting spatial resolution to image evidence while keeping memory usage low. Experiments show that OctWorld produces spatially consistent videos over extended camera paths and outperforms previous methods on both standard benchmarks and challenging long‑range scenarios.

The paper introduces latent spatial memory, a 3D cache that stores scene information directly in diffusion latent space, eliminating the need for pixel-space reconstruction. It presents Mirage, a framework that lifts latent tokens into 3D using depth-guided back‑projection and queries the memory via latent‑space warping, achieving significant speed and memory gains. Experiments demonstrate up to 10.57× faster video generation, a 55× reduction in memory usage, and state‑of‑the‑art performance on WorldScore and strong reconstruction on RealEstate10K.

OctWorld is a video diffusion framework that uses a persistent 3D memory called OctMap to generate long‑range, world‑consistent videos from a single image. OctMap fuses visual observations and depth maps into a dynamic sparse octree with adaptive resolution, preserving geometric and appearance details while keeping memory usage low. Experiments show OctWorld outperforms previous methods on standard benchmarks and challenging long‑range generation tasks.

Video world models that maintain 3D spatial consistency across generated frames typically rely on explicit point cloud memory constructed in RGB space. This design is both computationally expensive, requiring repeated rendering and VAE encoding, and inherently lossy, as the round trip through pixel space discards rich features of the learned latent representation.

Orbia is a new benchmark that systematically evaluates 3D consistency in interactive video world models. It organizes evaluation into three dimensions—input preservation, generated‑content persistence, and 3D self‑consistency—using controlled exploration and revisit protocols. The benchmark covers 720 instances across indoor and outdoor scenes and tests 27 different models, providing a comprehensive framework for diagnosing and improving 3D consistency.
