The field of 4D scene generation and control is witnessing significant advancements, with a focus on achieving high-fidelity, temporally consistent, and spatially coherent results. Researchers are exploring innovative approaches to decouple scene dynamics from camera pose, enabling precise control over both aspects. Furthermore, there is a growing emphasis on jointly controlling camera trajectory and illumination, recognizing that visual dynamics are inherently shaped by both geometry and lighting.

Notable papers in this area include: Relightable Holoported Characters, which presents a novel method for free-view rendering and relighting of dynamic humans from sparse-view RGB videos. Dynamic-eDiTor, which introduces a training-free text-driven 4D editing framework leveraging Multimodal Diffusion Transformer and 4D Gaussian Splatting. Other noteworthy papers, such as PanFlow, Dual-Projection Fusion, and ChronosObserver, also demonstrate innovative solutions for panoramic video generation, upright panorama generation, and 4D world scene representation.
