GAUGE Web Demo

An interactive research project page for GAUGE: A Measurement-Grounded Benchmark for Physical Fidelity in Simulation Engines and Video World Models.

The demo translates the paper into five explorable ideas:

• a real-vs-simulation trajectory instrument;
• the two complementary evaluation tracks;
• an atlas of 22 rigid, textile, cable, and volumetric task families;
• an interactive comparison of Isaac Sim, Genesis, and Newton results;
• a three-layer diagnosis of video world models: equation form, parameter accuracy, and temporal stability.

The task atlas opens as a multi-video gallery so every real trial stays attached to its task, target, materials, and paper detail. A Dataset toggle provides a sortable 22-task table when a denser view is useful. The engine and world-model sections use linked tables for task, metric, scene, and prompt exploration.

Requires Node.js >=22.13.0.

npm install
npm run dev

Open http://localhost:3000.

npm test

The test command creates a production build and verifies the rendered research page and project-specific metadata.

• app/GaugeDemo.tsx — content, data, and interactions
• app/globals.css — responsive visual system
• public/paper/ — paper-derived figures and experiment crops
• public/trials/ — short, web-optimized previews of the real-world trials
• public/gauge.pdf — source paper used by the local demo
• public/og.png — generated social preview card

The project uses vinext and retains .openai/hosting.json for optional future hosting, but this version is configured and verified for local use.

Task metadata and selected trial media were cross-checked against the companion NINGYURICHARD/gauge-web implementation, then reorganized for this interface.

The site serves compact H.264 previews so first-load and playback costs stay low. Full-resolution source captures should live in Git LFS, a GitHub Release, or object storage when they are added; the browser-facing previews stay in the regular site artifact because they are intentionally small.
