VR-Bench Dataset

VR-Bench is a benchmark dataset for evaluating spatial reasoning capabilities of Vision-Language Models (VLMs) and Video Generation Models.

Dataset Structure

The dataset is split into two subsets:

dataset_VR_split/
├── train/          # Training set (96 cases)
│   ├── maze/
│   ├── maze3d/
│   ├── pathfinder/
│   ├── sokoban/
│   └── trapfield/
└── eval/           # Evaluation set (24 cases)
    ├── maze/
    ├── maze3d/
    ├── pathfinder/
    ├── sokoban/
    └── trapfield/

Each game directory contains:

• images/: Initial state images (PNG)
• states/: Game state metadata (JSON)
• videos/: Solution trajectory videos (MP4)

Games

• Maze: 2D grid-based navigation with walls
• TrapField: 2D grid-based navigation with traps
• Sokoban: Box-pushing puzzle game
• PathFinder: Irregular maze with curved paths
• Maze3D: 3D maze with vertical navigation

Usage

For Video Model Evaluation

from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset("your-username/VR-Bench")
train_data = dataset["train"]
eval_data = dataset["eval"]

Each video file shows the optimal solution trajectory for the corresponding game state.

Baseline Model Outputs

We have uploaded the output videos from all baseline models evaluated in our paper. These outputs are available in the output_video.tar.gz file and can be used with the VR-Bench evaluation infrastructure for reproduction and testing.

Available Baseline Models

The baseline outputs are organized by model name:

output_video/

├── MiniMax-Hailuo-2_3/
├── sora-2/
├── veo3_1/
├── veo3_1-pro/
├── wan2.2/
