The authors start with a frozen monocular panoramic video diffusion model (a latent diffusion transformer trained on Internet data).
A zero-shot pipeline that turns monocular 360° video generators into stereoscopic ones
By warping depth to produce the second eye and using a geometric reward for fine-tuning, the method outputs 4K stereoscopic 360° videos without any stereo training data.
