The authors introduce HelixWorld, the first real-time interactive audio-visual world model that co-generates visual scenes and camera-grounded spatial stereo audio under user control.

The authors curated a spatial audio-visual dataset with true stereo acoustics and metric camera poses from web videos, game recordings, and open corpora.
