    OmniShowcase generates 3D-consistent videos from multi-view images using geometry conditioning

    OmniShowcase creates videos of a subject from four reference images by reconstructing 3D geometry as surface-normal maps and conditioning a video diffusion model on these plus the references, achieving state-of-the-art identity and 3D consistency on new benchmarks.

    Sensorimotor Alignment predicts robot task success from offline sensory-motor representation similarity

    This paper introduces Sensorimotor Alignment (S²), a training-free metric measuring how well a robot model's sensory representations align with its motor trajectories, showing strong correlation with task success across model families and real robots, outperforming existing offline proxies.
