VideoWorldModel

1st Workshop on Video World Models

Interaction, Memory, and Efficiency

📍 Denver, Colorado 📅 June 3-7, 2026 🎯 CVPR 2026

About

World models are systems that predict the next state of the world based on historical states and interactive action control. Among various approaches, Video World Models based on interactive video generation are particularly promising due to the photorealism and scalability of video data, as well as recent advances in video generation.

However, current video generation models face significant challenges in achieving the ideal Video World Model. This workshop aims to provide a platform for researchers from both academia and industry to discuss and address these challenges, foster collaboration, advance related academic research, and promote the practical application of Video World Models.
