Generates synthetic datasets for training and evaluating vision models on object permanence and occlusion tracking tasks. Each sample contains objects that are temporarily blocked by a moving horizontal mask, testing the ability to track objects through occlusion.
Each sample pairs a task (first frame + prompt describing what needs to happen) with its ground truth solution (final frame showing the result + video demonstrating how to achieve it). This structure enables both model evaluation and training.

The scene shows 4 objects arranged horizontally on the right side of the frame, with a dark rectangular mask initially positioned on the left side. Move the mask horizontally to the right in a continuous motion until it leaves the frame. As it moves, the mask passes in front of the objects, temporarily blocking them from view.

| Initial Frame Mask on left, objects visible on right |
Animation Mask moves right, occluding objects sequentially |
Final Frame Mask exits frame, objects remain visible |
Move a horizontal mask across stationary objects, temporarily occluding them as it passes, then continue until the mask leaves the frame.
- Objects: 3 shapes arranged horizontally on right side
- Mask: Dark rectangular occluder starting on left side
- Movement: Mask moves horizontally from left to right
- Occlusion effect: Objects disappear behind mask, reappear after
- Objects remain stationary: Only mask moves
- Background: White with clear contrast
- Goal: Complete horizontal traversal with sequential occlusion
- Horizontal occlusion dynamics
- Multiple sequential occlusions (3 objects)
- Object permanence testing (objects persist behind mask)
- Continuous smooth mask motion
- Objects revealed again after occlusion
- Tests tracking through temporary blocking
