Learning to generate or reconstruct explorable worlds requires video paired with more than RGB: camera motion, scene geometry, temporal correspondence and, for interactive models, control signals. Real capture can provide some of these signals, but dense geometry and long-range correspondence usually rely on estimation or specialised instrumentation. Rendering provides these quantities directly, yet existing synthetic resources rarely combine them on the same frames while also supporting controlled changes of viewpoint and appearance. We introduce WorldRover, a data engine for generating richly annotated, long-range explorations of artist-built environments. At its core, WorldRover-Engine is an Unreal Engine pipeline that executes and offline-renders minute-scale routes while preserving their full trajectories and scene geometry. The same exploration can be replayed from first-person, third-person, and 360 panoramic cameras under different environmental states. Using WorldRover-Engine, we construct WorldRover-10M, whose sequences pair RGB with metric depth, camera trajectories, and trajectory-derived action signals throughout each exploration. Third-person subsets additionally provide dense optical flow, long-range 2D/3D point tracks with visibility, and a character trajectory distinct from the camera trajectory. The engine can render a traversal from first-person, third-person and 360 panoramic viewpoints, under different environmental states or with a neutral white material, while preserving the route and scene geometry. WorldRover therefore turns long-horizon world exploration into a scalable data-generation problem, providing supervision for models that must build, maintain, and revisit coherent representations of an explorable world.
Interactive video generation systems for camera-controlled world exploration roll out growing sequences of latent video frames, entangling state transition with high-frequency observation synthesis. We propose Walking in the Implicit, a scene-centric paradigm that changes the rollout variable from frame latents to a fixed-length, renderable implicit state, termed Neural Implicit Scene (NIS). This factorizes interactive generation into stochastic transition of a compact scene state and deterministic pose-conditioned rendering given the sampled state. We instantiate this paradigm as NeuWorld: a transformer VAE learns locally anchored NIS from sparse posed frames, and a diffusion transformer evolves NIS conditioned on future camera trajectories and geometry-aware retrieved history. By reusing the VAE encoder as a unified conditioner, NeuWorld maps camera, reference-image, and history cues into the same NIS modality, avoiding external heterogeneous encoders. Trained from scratch on public posed-view data without pretrained video backbones or auxiliary 3D reconstructors, NeuWorld achieves strong long-horizon consistency with favorable inference efficiency.
