Video world models aim to simulate dynamic, real-world environments, yet existing methods struggle to provide unified and precise control over camera and multi-object motion, as videos inherently capture dynamics in the projected 2D image…
In this paper, we propose a dense depth estimation pipeline for multiview 360{\deg} images. The proposed pipeline leverages a spherical camera model that compensates for radial distortion in 360{\deg} images. The key contribution of this…
Omnidirectional images (also referred to as static 360{\deg} panoramas) impose viewing conditions much different from those of regular 2D images. How do humans perceive image distortions in immersive virtual reality (VR) environments is an…
Recently, end-to-end trainable deep neural networks have significantly improved stereo depth estimation for perspective images. However, 360{\deg} images captured under equirectangular projection cannot benefit from directly adopting…
The emerging field of panoramic video generation from text and image prompts unlocks new creative possibilities in virtual reality (VR), addressing the limitations of current immersive experiences, which are constrained by pre-designed…
Video streaming, in various forms of video on demand (VOD), live, and 360 degree streaming, has grown dramatically during the past few years. In comparison to traditional cable broadcasters whose contents can only be watched on TVs, video…
We present a technique for Stereoscopic Cylindrical Screen (SCS) Projection of a world scene to a 360-degree canvas for viewing with 3D glasses. To optimize the rendering pipeline, we render the scene to four cubemaps, before sampling…
While generative models such as text-to-image, large language models and text-to-video have seen significant progress, the extension to text-to-virtual-reality remains largely unexplored, due to a deficit in training data and the complexity…
Videos can be created by first outlining a global view of the scene and then adding local details. Inspired by this idea we propose a cascaded model for video generation which follows a coarse to fine approach. First our model generates a…

We present a system for converting a fully panoramic ($360^\circ$) video into a normal field-of-view (NFOV) hyperlapse for an optimal viewing experience. Our system exploits visual saliency and semantics to non-uniformly sample in space and…
360 degrees surround photography or photospheres have taken the world by storm as the new media for content creation providing viewers rich, immersive experience compared to conventional photography. With the emergence of Virtual Reality as…
Wide-baseline panoramic images are frequently used in applications like VR and simulations to minimize capturing labor costs and storage needs. However, synthesizing novel views from these panoramic images in real time remains a significant…
Automatic 3D generation has recently attracted widespread attention. Recent methods have greatly accelerated the generation speed, but usually produce less-detailed objects due to limited model capacity or 3D data. Motivated by recent…
Cosmological simulations are powerful tools in the context of structure formation. They allow us to explore the assembly and clustering of dark matter halos, to validate or reject possible scenarios of structure formation, and to…
A review on numerical simulations of galaxy formation is given. Different numerical methods to solve collisionless and gas dynamical systems are outlined and one particular simulation technique, Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics, is discussed…
In this paper, we propose a wavelet-based video codec specifically designed for VR displays that enables real-time playback of high-resolution 360{\deg} videos. Our codec exploits the fact that only a fraction of the full 360{\deg} video…
