LightFuse: Relightable Interactive Gaussian Scene Reconstruction via Multi-Scan Fusion and 2D Gaussian Ray Tracing

Relightable interactive scene reconstruction aims to build an editable 3D model from scans of different object arrangements and render new layouts under novel illumination. Existing methods either bake lighting into appearance or recover material and illumination only for fixed scenes, leaving edited layouts with inconsistent shadows and indirect lighting. We present LightFuse, a 2D Gaussian framework that extends interactive scene reconstruction with explicit material-illumination decomposition and physically based relighting. LightFuse first fuses observations across states to reconstruct a shared background and movable objects. It then conducts ray-tracing-oriented geometry refinement to produce more complete and consistent surfaces. On the refined geometry, staged training with differentiable one-bounce ray tracing separates shared metallic--roughness material from state-specific environment lighting. The resulting scene supports object rearrangement, material editing, and relighting, while ray tracing recomputes appearance after each interaction. Experiments across synthetic scenes demonstrate state-of-the-art relighting quality, outperforming the strongest baseline by +9.74\,dB PSNR and +0.121 SSIM on average.

ManiSplat: Manipulation Trajectory Synthesis from Monocular Video via Decoupled 3D Gaussian Splatting

Reconstructing dynamic and interactive 3D scenes from real-world observations remains a fundamental challenge in computer vision and robotics. While recent advances in 3D Gaussian Splatting have enabled high-fidelity static reconstruction, extending it to interactive environments with articulated robots and manipulable objects remains difficult due to complex contact interactions and abrupt pose changes. To address these challenges, we introduce ManiSplat, a unified framework that reconstructs controllable and decoupled Gaussian digital twins directly from monocular ego-view robotic videos. Our method introduces a Graph-Structured Disentangled Representation that separates the robot, objects, and background into independently optimizable Gaussian subfields organized within a scene graph. To ensure stability, we propose a Task-Oriented Spatio-Temporal Alignment module that leverages the inherent logic of manipulation tasks-alternating between Motion and Skill phases-to construct accurate pseudo-ground-truth trajectories. Finally, a joint photometric-geometric optimization ensures the reconstructed scenes are temporally coherent, physically consistent, and simulation-ready. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our approach reconstructs interaction-driven dynamic scenes with high fidelity and controllability, effectively supporting downstream robotic tasks and policy learning.

Hand3R: Online 4D Hand-Scene Reconstruction in the Wild

For Embodied AI, jointly reconstructing dynamic hands and the dense scene context is crucial for understanding physical interaction. However, most existing methods recover isolated hands in local coordinates, overlooking the surrounding 3D environment. To address this, we present Hand3R, the first online framework for joint 4D hand-scene reconstruction from monocular video. Hand3R synergizes a pre-trained hand expert with a 4D scene foundation model via a scene-aware visual prompting mechanism. By injecting high-fidelity hand priors into a persistent scene memory, our approach enables simultaneous reconstruction of accurate hand meshes and dense metric-scale scene geometry in a single forward pass. Experiments demonstrate that Hand3R bypasses the reliance on offline optimization and delivers competitive performance in both local hand reconstruction and global positioning.

RecurGS: Interactive Scene Modeling via Discrete-State Recurrent Gaussian Fusion

Recent advances in 3D scene representations have enabled high-fidelity novel view synthesis, yet adapting to discrete scene changes and constructing interactive 3D environments remain open challenges in vision and robotics. Existing approaches focus solely on updating a single scene without supporting novel-state synthesis. Others rely on diffusion-based object-background decoupling that works on one state at a time and cannot fuse information across multiple observations. To address these limitations, we introduce RecurGS, a recurrent fusion framework that incrementally integrates discrete Gaussian scene states into a single evolving representation capable of interaction. RecurGS detects object-level changes across consecutive states, aligns their geometric motion using semantic correspondence and Lie-algebra based SE(3) refinement, and performs recurrent updates that preserve historical structures through replay supervision. A voxelized, visibility-aware fusion module selectively incorporates newly observed regions while keeping stable areas fixed, mitigating catastrophic forgetting and enabling efficient long-horizon updates. RecurGS supports object-level manipulation, synthesizes novel scene states without requiring additional scans, and maintains photorealistic fidelity across evolving environments. Extensive experiments across synthetic and real-world datasets demonstrate that our framework delivers high-quality reconstructions with substantially improved update efficiency, providing a scalable step toward continuously interactive Gaussian worlds.

High-spin magnetic ground states of neutral dopant clusters in semiconductors

High-spin states hold significant promise for classical and quantum information storage and emerging magnetic memory technologies. Here, we present a systematic framework for engineering such high-spin magnetic states in dopant clusters formed from substitutional impurities in semiconductors. In single-valley materials such as gallium arsenide, impurity states are hydrogenic and exchange interactions generally favor low-spin configurations, except in special geometries. In contrast, multivalley semiconductors exhibit oscillatory form factors in their exchange couplings, enabling the controlled suppression of selected hopping processes and exchange couplings. Exploiting this feature, we demonstrate how carefully arranged impurities in aluminum arsenide, germanium, and silicon can stabilize ground states with a net spin that scale extensively with system size. Within effective mass theory and the tight-binding approximation for hopping, we construct explicit examples ranging from finite clusters to extended lattices and fractal-like tilings. In two dimensions, we identify several favorable dopant geometries supporting a net spin equal to around half of the fully polarized value in the thermodynamic limit, including one which achieves over $70\%$ polarization. Our results provide a general design principle for harnessing valley degeneracy in semiconductors to construct robust high-spin states and outline a pathway for their experimental realization via precision implantation of dopants.

IGFuse: Interactive 3D Gaussian Scene Reconstruction via Multi-Scans Fusion

Reconstructing complete and interactive 3D scenes remains a fundamental challenge in computer vision and robotics, particularly due to persistent object occlusions and limited sensor coverage. Multiview observations from a single scene scan often fail to capture the full structural details. Existing approaches typically rely on multi stage pipelines, such as segmentation, background completion, and inpainting or require per-object dense scanning, both of which are error-prone, and not easily scalable. We propose IGFuse, a novel framework that reconstructs interactive Gaussian scene by fusing observations from multiple scans, where natural object rearrangement between captures reveal previously occluded regions. Our method constructs segmentation aware Gaussian fields and enforces bi-directional photometric and semantic consistency across scans. To handle spatial misalignments, we introduce a pseudo-intermediate scene state for unified alignment, alongside collaborative co-pruning strategies to refine geometry. IGFuse enables high fidelity rendering and object level scene manipulation without dense observations or complex pipelines. Extensive experiments validate the framework's strong generalization to novel scene configurations, demonstrating its effectiveness for real world 3D reconstruction and real-to-simulation transfer.

Capybara-OMNI: An Efficient Paradigm for Building Omni-Modal Language Models

With the development of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs), numerous outstanding accomplishments have emerged within the open-source community. Due to the complexity of creating and training multimodal data pairs, it is still a computational and time-consuming process to build powerful MLLMs. In this work, we introduce Capybara-OMNI, an MLLM that trains in a lightweight and efficient manner and supports understanding text, image, video, and audio modalities. We present in detail the framework design, the data construction, and the training recipe, to develop an MLLM step-by-step to obtain competitive performance. We also provide exclusive benchmarks utilized in our experiments to show how to properly verify understanding capabilities across different modalities. Results show that by following our guidance, we can efficiently build an MLLM that achieves competitive performance among models of the same scale on various multimodal benchmarks. Additionally, to enhance the multimodal instruction following and conversational capabilities of the model, we further discuss how to train the chat version upon an MLLM understanding model, which is more in line with user habits for tasks like real-time interaction with humans. We publicly disclose the Capybara-OMNI model, along with its chat-based version. The disclosure includes both the model weights, a portion of the training data, and the inference codes, which are made available on GitHub.
