We present Wid3R, a feed-forward neural network for visual geometry reconstruction that supports wide field-of-view camera models. Prior methods typically assume that input images are rectified or captured with pinhole cameras, since both their architectures and training datasets are tailored to perspective images only. These assumptions limit their applicability in real-world scenarios that use fisheye or panoramic cameras and often require careful calibration and undistortion. In contrast, Wid3R is a generalizable multi-view 3D estimation method that can model wide field-of-view camera types. Our approach leverages a ray representation with spherical harmonics and a novel camera model token within the network, enabling distortion-aware 3D reconstruction. Furthermore, Wid3R is the first multi-view foundation model to support feed-forward 3D reconstruction directly from 360 imagery. It demonstrates strong zero-shot robustness and consistently outperforms prior methods, achieving improvements of up to +77.33 on Stanford2D3D.

We present PanoPlane, an approach for high-fidelity sparse-view indoor novel view synthesis that reconstructs closed room geometry via panoramic scene completion. Unlike perspective-based methods that generate training views from limited fields of view, PanoPlane leverages $360^{\circ}$ panoramic completion to condition the generative process on the full spatial layout. We propose Layout Anchored Attention Steering, a training-free mechanism that steers attention within the diffusion model's internal representation toward scene's detected planar surfaces at inference time. By directing each unobserved region's attention toward geometrically consistent observed content, our method replaces unconstrained hallucination with grounded surface extrapolation. The resulting panoramic completions provide supervision for 3D Gaussian Splatting, enabling accurate novel-view synthesis across unobserved regions from as few as three input views. Experiments on Replica, ScanNet++, and Matterport3D demonstrate state-of-the-art novel view synthesis quality across 3, 6, and 9 input views, achieving up to $+17.8\%$ improvement in PSNR over the current state-of-the-art baseline without any training or fine-tuning of the diffusion model.
