The paper introduces GeoUG, a unified model that combines depth and multi-view generation with spatial understanding. It employs a multi-scale depth codec for metric-depth generation and demonstrates that joint training improves spatial tasks. Using the 3DCueBench benchmark, the authors show that generated depth aids fine-grained geometric reasoning and develop an adaptive interleaved reasoning strategy that balances accuracy with generation cost, achieving high accuracies on several benchmarks.

VBVR-Pro is a closed‑loop testbed that enables native visual reasoning through generation, offering 300 procedurally generated tasks that scale training and allow strong transfer to external benchmarks. It supplies verifiable reward scorers based on deterministic, task‑specific rules, outperforming VLM‑as‑a‑judge approaches and providing reliable signals for reinforcement learning. The suite also facilitates controlled modality studies, revealing that video generation excels at persistent spatiotemporal tracking while interleaved generation offers a compute‑efficient alternative, and highlights the importance of vision‑native trajectories for reasoning.
Pointing-based visual grounding requires models to precisely locate target objects by deciphering complex spatial relationships between the visual scene and pointing gestures. Traditional methods typically encode input images into static feature representations and perform reasoning primarily within the linguistic domain, often overlooking the rich perceptual cues and explicit spatial geometry inherent in images.
