GimbalDiffusion: Gravity-Aware Camera Control for Video Generation
Recent progress in text-to-video generation has achieved remarkable realism, yet fine-grained control over camera motion and orientation remains elusive, especially with extreme trajectories (e.g., a 180-degree turnaround, or looking directly up or down). Existing approaches typically encode camera trajectories using relative or ambiguous representations, limiting precise geometric control and offering limited support for large rotations. We introduce GimbalDiffusion, a framework that enables camera control grounded in physical-world coordinates, using gravity as a global reference. Instead of describing motion relative to previous frames, our method defines camera trajectories in an absolute coordinate system, allowing accurate, interpretable control over camera parameters. Using panoramic 360-degree videos for training, we cover the full sphere of possible viewpoints, including combinations of extreme pitch and roll that are out-of-distribution of conventional video data. To improve camera control, we introduce null-pitch conditioning, a strategy that prevents the model from overriding camera specifications in the presence of conflicting prompt content (e.g., generating grass while the camera points toward the sky). Finally, we propose new benchmarks to evaluate gravity-aware camera-controlled video generation, assessing models' ability to generate extreme camera angles and quantify their input prompt entanglement.

MoVerse: Real-Time Video World Modeling with Panoramic Gaussian Scaffold
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 th…
G3T Up! Gravity Aligned Coordinate Frames Simplify Pointmap Processing
Modern feed-forward 3D reconstruction methods like VGGT predict pixel-aligned pointmaps in camera-centric coordinate frames. However, this choice of coordinate frame is not always optimal. We propose instead to predict p…

Recent game world models can synthesize visually plausible, action-conditioned rollouts. However, their interaction behaviors often remain limited to exploratory or wandering trajectories, and physical dynamics are typic…
Gravity as a Reference for Estimating a Person's Height from Video
Estimating the metric height of a person from monocular imagery without additional assumptions is ill-posed. Existing solutions either require manual calibration of ground plane and camera geometry, special cameras, or r…
World-Grounded Human Motion Recovery via Gravity-View Coordinates
We present a novel method for recovering world-grounded human motion from monocular video. The main challenge lies in the ambiguity of defining the world coordinate system, which varies between sequences. Previous approa…
