# [ECCV 2026] Towards Spatial Supersensing in the Wild

Humans make sense of continuous sensory streams by maintaining implicit world states that support spatial reasoning and prediction. **VSI-Super-Wild** studies whether multimodal models can develop similar spatial supersensing capabilities in genuinely long-form, **in-the-wild** videos.

The benchmark moves beyond short indoor clips and object-centric settings. It evaluates world modeling over the **agent-object-environment** triad with human-verified question-answer pairs grounded in real-world video streams.

## Highlights

- **In-the-wild long-video benchmark.** VSI-Super-Wild contains 442 view-level videos across 8 scene categories, totaling 284.52 hours, with videos up to 261.08 minutes long.
- **Human-verified spatial QA.** The release includes 6,980 question-answer pairs covering motion, place ordering, object ordering, and continuous object counting.
- **Multi-anchor task suite.** Four tasks probe agent, environment, and object states over long temporal horizons.
- **Ready for evaluation.** The video archives and metadata are released on this Hugging Face dataset page, while evaluation code is maintained in the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/THUSI-Lab/VSI-Super-Wild).

## Motivation

Existing spatial supersensing benchmarks are an important step toward testing implicit world modeling, but they often remain synthetic, household-centered, or object-centric. VSI-Super-Wild targets natural long-video streams and broader world-state coverage across agent, object, and environment anchors.

## Task Suite

VSI-Super-Wild evaluates four task families over the agent-object-environment triad:

| Task | Name | Anchor | Answer Format | Q&A Count |
|---|---|---|---|---:|
| `VMR` | Motion Orientation Recall | Agent | Multiple choice | 1,215 |
| `VPO` | Place Temporal Ordering | Environment | Multiple choice | 1,302 |
| `VOO` | Object Temporal Ordering | Object | Multiple choice | 3,350 |
| `VOC` | Continuous Object Counting | Object | Integer | 1,113 |

`VOO` contains two balanced subtypes: 1,675 first-appearance recall questions and 1,675 last-appearance recall questions.

## Dataset Construction

The benchmark is built through a semi-automatic pipeline with human-in-the-loop verification. We collect and filter in-the-wild panoramic videos, project panoramas into perspective views, derive temporal and spatial metadata, synthesize rule-based QA, and verify the resulting samples with rollback when metadata or QA needs refinement.

## Benchmark Statistics

The released metadata file contains 6,980 human-verified Q&A rows associated with 442 view-level videos.

The `video_name` field in `qa.jsonl` refers to the corresponding video file used by each question.

This dataset page hosts the released videos and QA metadata. For evaluation, please use the official [GitHub codebase](https://github.com/THUSI-Lab/VSI-Super-Wild), which maintains the task definitions, video resolver, metrics, and evaluator scripts.
