摘要
Video world models conditioned on an input video make it possible to explore real, recorded dynamic scenes, enabling re-shooting of footage, free-viewpoint replay, and real-to-sim environments for embodied agents. Such uses require the generated rollout to stay faithful to the recorded world, yet existing benchmarks start from a single image or a text prompt, and video-conditioned generation is evaluated mainly on perceptual quality and camera following. These evaluations do not directly assess whether exploration preserves subject identity, event progression, and scene consistency upon revisiting a location. We introduce WanderBench, a benchmark for exploring dynamic worlds from video. It comprises 745 single-shot source videos of real and AI-generated content in three difficulty tiers (3-25 s), paired with camera routes given as keyboard actions, and evaluates six dimensions with 24 human-validated sub-metrics. Benchmarking eight models, we find that as clips grow longer, models keep the static scene and visual quality but lose camera control and the source dynamics, and that none keeps revisited places consistent. We further propose WanderLand, a training-free framework that conditions each frame of a frozen model on the same-instant source and, on revisits, on its own earlier static content. WanderLand improves five models on every dimension, by up to 8.3 points in source-dynamics fidelity.
