#CVPR2026 Can frontier LLMs write PhD-level 3D vision code? We introduce GeoCodeBench, a benchmark that asks models to read real 3D geometric vision papers and implement core functions. Best result so far: GPT-5 reaches only 36.6%. This suggests that scientific coding in 3D vision remains far from solved. Paper: Project:

3D-LLM: Injecting the 3D World into Large Language Models paper page: Large language models (LLMs) and Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have been proven to excel at multiple tasks, such as commonsense reasoning. Powerful as these models can be, they are not grounded in the 3D physical world, which involves richer concepts such as spatial relationships, affordances, physics, layout, and so on. In this work, we propose to inject the 3D world into large language models and introduce a whole new family of 3D-LLMs. Specifically, 3D-LLMs can take 3D point clouds and their features as input and perform a diverse set of 3D-related tasks, including captioning, dense captioning, 3D question answering, task decomposition, 3D grounding, 3D-assisted dialog, navigation, and so on. Using three types of prompting mechanisms that we design, we are able to collect over 300k 3D-language data covering these tasks. To efficiently train 3D-LLMs, we first utilize a 3D feature extractor that obtains 3D features from rendered multi- view images. Then, we use 2D VLMs as our backbones to train our 3D-LLMs. By introducing a 3D localization mechanism, 3D-LLMs can better capture 3D spatial information. Experiments on ScanQA show that our model outperforms state-of-the-art baselines by a large margin (e.g., the BLEU-1 score surpasses state-of-the-art score by 9%). Furthermore, experiments on our held-in datasets for 3D captioning, task composition, and 3D-assisted dialogue show that our model outperforms 2D VLMs. Qualitative examples also show that our model could perform more tasks beyond the scope of existing LLMs and VLMs.

LLaVA-3D A Simple yet Effective Pathway to Empowering LMMs with 3D-awareness Recent advancements in Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) have greatly enhanced their proficiency in 2D visual understanding tasks, enabling them to effectively process and understand images and videos. However, the development of LMMs with 3D-awareness for 3D scene understanding has been hindered by the lack of large-scale 3D vision-language datasets and powerful 3D encoders. In this paper, we introduce a simple yet effective framework called LLaVA-3D. Leveraging the strong 2D understanding priors from LLaVA, our LLaVA-3D efficiently adapts LLaVA for 3D scene understanding without compromising 2D understanding capabilities. To achieve this, we employ a simple yet effective representation, 3D Patch, which connects 2D CLIP patch features with their corresponding positions in 3D space. By integrating the 3D Patches into 2D LMMs and employing joint 2D and 3D vision-language instruction tuning, we establish a unified architecture for both 2D image understanding and 3D scene understanding. Experimental results show that LLaVA-3D converges 3.5x faster than existing 3D LMMs when trained on 3D vision-language datasets. Moreover, LLaVA-3D not only achieves state-of-the-art performance across various 3D tasks but also maintains comparable 2D image understanding and vision-language conversation capabilities with LLaVA.

DL3DV-10K: A Large-Scale Scene Dataset for Deep Learning-based 3D Vision paper page: We have witnessed significant progress in deep learning-based 3D vision, ranging from neural radiance field (NeRF) based 3D representation learning to applications in novel view synthesis (NVS). However, existing scene-level datasets for deep learning-based 3D vision, limited to either synthetic environments or a narrow selection of real-world scenes, are quite insufficient. This insufficiency not only hinders a comprehensive benchmark of existing methods but also caps what could be explored in deep learning-based 3D analysis. To address this critical gap, we present DL3DV-10K, a large-scale scene dataset, featuring 51.2 million frames from 10,510 videos captured from 65 types of point-of-interest (POI) locations, covering both bounded and unbounded scenes, with different levels of reflection, transparency, and lighting. We conducted a comprehensive benchmark of recent NVS methods on DL3DV-10K, which revealed valuable insights for future research in NVS. In addition, we have obtained encouraging results in a pilot study to learn generalizable NeRF from DL3DV-10K, which manifests the necessity of a large-scale scene-level dataset to forge a path toward a foundation model for learning 3D representation.

They finally did it! YouTube is now an official app for Apple Vision Pro and can be downloaded from the App Store. It features 3D, 180 and 360-degree content and an optimised user interface. So far I really like it. Still, it feels surreal that this is actually happening.

Humans draw to facilitate reasoning and communication. Why not let LLMs do so? 🚀We introduce✏️Sketchpad, which gives multimodal LLMs a sketchpad to draw and facilitate reasoning! Sketchpad gives GPT-4o great boosts on many vision and math tasks 📈 The video shows how GPT-4o with Sketchpad reasons with interleaved visual and textual steps. For more, visit our project page: 📌 For math tasks, ✏️Sketchpad allows LLMs to draw auxiliary lines on geometry diagrams, plotting functions, graphs, and even games. GPT-4o does math better when it can sketch! (+12.7% acc on average) 📌 For computer vision tasks, ✏️Sketchpad allows LLMs to sketch with vision specialists (e.g., GroundingDINO draws bounding boxes, SegmentAnything draws masks). Sketchpad substantially improves GPT-4o's vision abilities. GPT-4o + Sketchpad compared with prior SOTAs: 1️⃣ V*Bench: 75.4% -> 80.3% 2️⃣ BLINK correspondence: 42.4% -> 80.8% 3️⃣ BLINK relative depth: 67.7% -> 83.9% 4️⃣ BLINK spatial relation: 76.2% -> 81.1% ...

How far can a very simple eye go in solving vision tasks? Like a 1-pixel camera? Humans have one of the greatest eyes in nature, while many animals have significantly simpler eyes and visual systems yet show complex perceptual behavior. In an interesting project, we find that many computer vision tasks can be solved without a typical camera and with such simple 1-pixel sensors (photoreceptors). We also find that proper design (e.g., where to place the photoreceptors strategically) makes a big difference, so we developed a computational design method to find them. 🌐 👁️[Solving Vision Tasks with Simple Photoreceptors Instead of Cameras] 🧵1/n

3D Object Tracking without Training Data? In our nature Machine Intelligence paper ( we recast 3D tracking as an inverse neural rendering task where we fit a scene graph to an image that best explains this image. The method generalizes to completely unseen datasets and is explainable. Project and Code: Fun collaboration between Princeton Computer Science and Torc Robotics, with Julian Ost and Tanushree Banerjee leading this project.

Scaling 3D scene data is a long-standing challenge in scene understanding, spatial reasoning, and robotics. Since scanning, reconstruction, and labeling are so labor-intensive, data scarcity has remained a major bottleneck. 🛑 To solve this, we propose SceneVerse++: Lifting Unlabeled Internet-level Data for 3D Scene Understanding (CVPR 2026). By reconstructing internet videos and annotating 3D scenes automatically, we’ve created a massive real-world dataset for end-to-end understanding. 🌐📐 SceneVerse++ makes it easy to scale "in-the-wild" 3D scenes toward more capable spatial reasoning systems. This significantly promotes progress in 3D VQA, visual navigation, and broader tasks in Embodied AI and Robotics. 🤖🦾 We are fully open-sourced!

There's a certain kind of energy that only a room full of believers can create. The Avaada Electro Townhall had exactly that. Across functions, across roles, the team came together to align on the vision, celebrate the journey so far, and look ahead at everything we're building. The activities, the conversations, the spirit in that room were entirely on another level. This is what growth looks like from the inside. Avaada Electro

This AI paper just solved Google Earth's biggest problem. Satellites look down. Humans look across. That perspective gap is why 3D maps are limited to cities you can blanket with aerial flyovers. Skyfall-GS bridges the gap by synthesizing the views we never captured - rebuilding missing facades and street-level geometry using the world knowledge of diffusion models. And it does so with remarkable consistency. This is a taste of how we go from 3D maps in 3,000 cities to the entire planet. Watch my full video for the rundown:

Infinite Photorealistic Worlds using Procedural Generation paper page: introduce Infinigen, a procedural generator of photorealistic 3D scenes of the natural world. Infinigen is entirely procedural: every asset, from shape to texture, is generated from scratch via randomized mathematical rules, using no external source and allowing infinite variation and composition. Infinigen offers broad coverage of objects and scenes in the natural world including plants, animals, terrains, and natural phenomena such as fire, cloud, rain, and snow. Infinigen can be used to generate unlimited, diverse training data for a wide range of computer vision tasks including object detection, semantic segmentation, optical flow, and 3D reconstruction. We expect Infinigen to be a useful resource for computer vision research and beyond.

How precise can a robot get… without ever seeing the object move? Turns out, just a geometric model is enough. A robot hit 73 precise 3D goals in a row, using only a geometric model. No demonstrations. No imitation learning. No fancy vision models. The secret? Sample where the robot could make contact. Let local contact-implicit control take over from there. That’s it. ✅ Real-time performance ✅ Natural contact making and breaking ✅ Works on tricky tasks like pushing and rotating This approach mixes global planning with local MPC. Fast. Accurate. Sample-efficient. Thanks for sharing, Michael Posa ! 📍Watch it in action: Paper:

🍺 LagerNVS (CVPR 2026) 🍺 LagerNVS is a generalizable, feed-forward, real-time Novel View Synthesis network which - performs rendering in real time, - generalizes to in-the-wild data, - works with and without known source cameras, - sets a new state-of-the-art among deterministic methods, - can be paired with a diffusion decoder for generative extrapolation. LagerNVS shows that 3D biases are useful for Novel View Synthesis but explicit 3D representations are not required to achieve them. We use 3D biases in (1) architecture design and (2) pre-training: (1) In NVS with explicit 3D representations (3DGS, NeRF) reconstruction is typically difficult and slow, but rendering is much faster and simpler. We mimic this process in the network design: we use a large (1B params) encoder and a small, lightweight decoder (ViT-B). This allows increasing the network capacity while still achieving real-time rendering. (2) The encoder, initialized from VGGT, was pre-trained with 3D reconstruction objectives, making the initial features 3D aware. Both substantially improve performance.
