# Multi-View Simulation

Simulation producing consistent visual representations from multiple independent viewpoints simultaneously
Multi-view simulation refers to a simulation architecture that generates consistent visual representations of the same simulated world from multiple independent viewpoints simultaneously — each participant sees a distinct but globally coherent view of the shared world.

Multi-view simulation requires that the rendering component derive visual output from the shared world state in a viewpoint-consistent manner. When one participant moves, the rendered perspective changes appropriately for all observers, maintaining the illusion of a shared physical space.

This capability is essential for multiplayer applications where participants need to perceive each other's position and actions from their own perspective. It enables games, collaborative robotics, and multi-camera surveillance simulation where consistent 3D world state must be rendered differently depending on observer location.

Multi-view consistency distinguishes learned world models that truly share state from those that merely concatenate per-agent observations.
