Volume Transformer: Revisiting Vanilla Transformers for 3D Scene Understanding

ArXi:2604.19609v1 Announce Type: new Transformers have become a common foundation across deep learning, yet 3D scene understanding still relies on specialized backbones with strong domain priors. This keeps the field isolated from the broader Transformer ecosystem, limiting the transfer of new advances as well as the benefits of increasingly optimized software and hardware stacks. To bridge this gap, we adapt the vanilla Transformer encoder to 3D scenes with minimal modifications.
