MUGEN: Interactive Panoramic World Exploration via Camera Control

Interactive panoramic video generation aims to synthesize immersive 360\textdegree{} videos that remain visually coherent while following user-specified camera trajectories during exploration. However, progress is limited by a coupled data-and-model gap: existing panoramic video datasets are often short, weakly annotat...

AlayaVista: Streaming World Modeling from Panoramic States to Perspective Video

Interactive video world models must maintain broad scene context under camera motion while producing high-fidelity observations with low latency. Existing approaches face a representation trade-off: perspective models operate on local views and must preserve off-screen content over long rollouts, whereas broader spatia...

From Pixels to States: Rethinking Interactive World Models as Game Engines

Building interactive worlds that respond coherently to player actions has long been a shared goal of computer graphics, games, and artificial intelligence. Recent video generative models provide a data-driven route toward this goal by predicting future observations conditioned on user actions, and are increasingly rega...

Marionette: Predicting World States, Rendering Geometry, Painting Appearance

This work explicitly model the evolving world state, delegate exact geometric computation to a fixed, zero-parameter renderer, and leave the neural model to synthesize appearance, establishing two properties of Marionette, a world model for interactive games with articulated characters that is directly controllable.

AlayaWorld: Interactive Long-Horizon World Modeling - Full Technical Report

AlayaWorld is presented, an interactive long-horizon video world model that generates 24-fps video at 540p and 720p and introduces a discrete autoregressive distillation formulation that combines distribution-matching distillation, self-forcing++, and consistency distillation, reducing inference from approximately 30 s...
