Seeing the Unseen: Unified Visible–Invisible Motion for Physically Consistent Video Generation

Recent advances in video generation have achieved impressive visual quality, yet they often fail to produce physically consistent dynamics due to the lack of explicit modeling of underlying physical processes. Existing approaches either rely on simulators with strong assumptions or use coarse semantic guidance, and further struggle to effectively inject physical priors into generation models. In this work, we propose Seeing the Unseen, a unified framework for physics-grounded video generation. Our approach decomposes the problem into two stages: learning physical dynamics and injecting them into video synthesis. First, we introduce a lightweight Particle-based Graph Dynamics Simulator (PGDS) that learns generalizable physical interactions from data and predicts plausible 3D motion trajectories. Second, we propose a Visible–Invisible Motion Field (VIMF) that captures both motion observable in the input frame and motion that emerges over time due to object dynamics. This representation enables more complete and structured motion guidance compared to conventional physical signals. By integrating these trajectories into a diffusion-based generator, our method produces videos that are both visually coherent and physically consistent. Extensive experiments demonstrate improved motion accuracy, interaction consistency, and reduced physical artifacts compared to strong baselines.
