Towards Spatial Supersensing in the Wild

Humans can efficiently parse continuous sensory streams, from hours to years, scaffolding an internal world model that grounds spatial reasoning and prediction. To mimic this capacity, spatial supersensing challenges multimodal models to move beyond linguistic understanding toward true world modeling. However, their benchmark relies on synthetic long videos, formed by concatenating random short clips, and is mostly limited to household scenes, leaving real-world continuity and diversity underexplored. To address the gap, we introduce VSI-Super-Wild, a large-scale benchmark for evaluating spatial supersensing over long temporal horizons in diverse in-the-wild scenes. Notably, inspired by cognitive studies on how humans structure experience, we systematically probe the full triad of world state: the agent (observer), objects (scene items), and the environment (places and global layout). In total, VSI-Super-Wild contains 6,980 human-verified question-answer pairs derived from 442 real-world videos spanning 8 scene categories, including long-form recordings exceeding 4 hours. Results on VSI-Super-Wild expose a fundamental disconnect: despite advances in static image understanding, models consistently fail at tasks that require coherent world-state tracking over time. We characterize how performance degrades with world-state complexity and temporal horizon, and diagnose four failure modes: spatial collapse, semantic shortcuts, insufficient update, and instance confusion. This taxonomy reveals that models lack mechanisms to bind objects, agents, and environments into a unified spatial world model, a fundamental gap that defines the path forward for spatial supersensing.
