OpenSUN3D

7th Workshop on Open-World 3D Scene Understanding and Representations

September 8/9th in conjunction with ECCV 2026 in Malmö, Sweden.

Introduction

For intelligent agents to thrive in the physical world, they must not only perceive but also comprehend and act within it. This year’s workshop unites leading researchers advancing world models and spatial intelligence, from 3D perception and scene understanding to generative world representations. Through keynotes and a challenge on open 3D interaction perception, we will explore how machines learn to reason about and engage with their environments. The workshop aims to shape the next generation of spatially grounded AI, bridging scientific discovery, practical deployment, and responsible innovation.
