## Model Details

VMem is a plug-and-play memory mechanism for **consistent autoregressive scene / novel-view video generation**.  
Key idea: anchor past frames to **surface elements (surfels)** in a global memory. At every step the target camera pose queries this memory for the most relevant past views, which are combined (via Plücker-line embeddings + a VAE) with noise to synthesize the next frame. The generated frame is then written back, yielding long-term geometric consistency while keeping compute low.

### Direct Use
- **Novel-view video generation** from a single image or a short camera sweep.  
- **Scene roaming** in AR/VR: move a virtual camera through a captured room while preserving layout and textures.  
- **Video editing / completion** where long-term geometry must stay stable.
