RoTA-Bench: Evaluating 3D Spatial Reasoning through Interactive Projection Alignment

We introduce RoTA-Bench to evaluate these abilities through interactive 3D-to-2D projection alignment.

Key points

  • Can vision-language models turn 2D observations into 3D understanding that supports precise action?
  • This requires inferring object geometry, anticipating the effects of rotation, and refining actions through visual feedback.
  • Given a target silhouette, a model observes a rotated object and chooses successive rotations to recover the target projection within a limited action budget.
  • Our automated pipeline constructs silhouette-preserving 3D objects from 2D icons and uses reversible initialization to guarantee solvability, yielding 674 tasks and a stratified 100-task test set.
