WorldCrafter: Consistent Video World Model with Implicit 3D-aware Memory
Tencent ARC Lab
A video world model with a camera-queryable implicit 3D-aware memory: the target viewpoint conditions how historical observations are compressed into the generator's token budget, without explicit depth correspondences. A jointly-trained memory encoder plus pose-conditioned readout and few-step distillation support minute-scale streaming scene exploration from a single image or text prompt.
