WorldAuditBench: Evaluating Multimodal Agent Capabilities in Interactive 3D World Auditing
WorldAuditBench：首個評估多模態 Agent 3D 虛擬環境審計能力的全新基準測試
As 3D simulations grow vital for testing intelligent behavior, identifying environmental anomalies (e.g., floating assets or traversable walls) is key. The authors introduce WorldAuditBench, featuring 213 auditing tasks across 13 Unreal Engine 5 and Three.js environments. Evaluating five frontier models under two paradigms (VLA-led exploration and end-to-end VLM reasoning), the study shows AI models achieve success rates of only 6.6% to 42.3%, lagging significantly behind the human benchmark of 83.4%.
Key points
Coupling Action and Reasoning
3D world auditing demands that agents coordinate navigation actions to search environments systematically while using visual reasoning to identify anomalies.
Rich Benchmark Design
Comprises 213 diverse anomaly tasks across 13 environments built on Unreal Engine 5 and Three.js, spanning 5 distinct anomaly families.
Two Paradigms Evaluated
Tests two workflows: VLA-based exploration followed by VLM anomaly detection, and an end-to-end VLM agent where reasoning directly steers actions.
Significant Human-AI Gap
Frontier models struggle with success rates of just 6.6% to 42.3%, severely underperforming compared to the human baseline of 83.4%.
How it works
| 兩階段架構 (VLA + VLM) | 端到端 VLM Agent | 人類測試者 (Human) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Navigation | VLA 動作模型探索場景 | VLM 視覺推理直接引導動作 | 直覺式主動探勘 |
| Anomaly Detection | 探勘完後由 VLM 統一分析 | 探勘過程中即時整合分析 | 即時感官與邏輯判斷 |
| Best Success Rate | 6.6% - 42.3% (併計) | 6.6% - 42.3% (併計) | 83.4% |
Why it matters
This research addresses a core bottleneck for multimodal agents: gathering and interpreting physical evidence in 3D spaces. It has immediate practical implications for automating QA in game development, metaverse building, and simulation prep for Embodied AI, reducing manual debugging effort.
