TourPhysics: Bringing Physics to World Models for Exploration and Manipulation from a Single Image

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 4, 2026 · UTC

Interactive visual world models must distinguish observation from physical intervention. Camera motion reveals new surfaces, whereas intervention changes object motion, contact, and deformation. Current video world models are largely driven by appearance priors and often lose physical or spatial consistency over long horizons. We present TourPhysics, an online framework initialized from a single image and a declarative physical configuration. TourPhysics extends PhysOmni, our ACM Multimedia 2026 work, from finite physics-grounded video synthesis to persistent exploration and manipulation. Tour
