SEGAR: Selective Enhancement for Generative Augmented Reality

Generative world models offer a compelling foundation for augmented-reality (AR) applications: by predicting future image sequences that incorporate deliberate visual edits, they enable temporally coherent, augmented future frames that can be computed ahead of time and cached, avoiding per-frame rendering from scratch in real time. In this work, we present SEGAR, a preliminary framework that combines a diffusion-based world model with a selective correction stage to support this vision. The world model generates augmented future frames with region-specific edits while preserving others, and the correction stage subsequently aligns safety-critical regions with real-world observations while preserving intended augmentations elsewhere. We demonstrate this pipeline in driving scenarios as a representative setting where semantic region structure is well defined and real-world feedback is readily available. We view this as an early step toward generative world models as practical AR infrastructure, where future frames can be generated, cached, and selectively corrected on demand.
