HelixWorld WASD camera moves as prompt words for Omni Flash
HelixWorld steers its camera with WASD and direction actions. Sume has no camera-key input, so write the move as a phrase and test it with a 3 s 360p draft.

Sume does not accept camera key input or a camera trajectory. The nearest equivalent to HelixWorld's WASD camera control is to write the move in the prompt, for example slow dolly forward for W, and test it with a cheap 3-second 360p draft on Gemini Omni Flash 1.1, which costs $0.1125 before rounding. The mapping below is prompt wording to try, not a guarantee that the model will follow it.
From keys to words
HelixWorld's README describes actions W, A, S, D, left, right, up, down and stop, which can be combined with a plus sign. Its paper describes continuous 6-DoF camera poses injected into the model. A text prompt carries none of that, so every move below is a phrase.
| HelixWorld input | Prompt phrase to try |
|---|---|
| W (move forward) | slow dolly forward, the camera moves toward the subject |
| S (move back) | the camera pulls back and reveals the room |
| A / D (strafe) | the camera trucks left / right at walking pace |
| left / right action | the camera pans left / right |
| up / down action | the camera tilts up / down |
| W+right | the camera moves forward while it pans right |
A cheap test loop
Send the start of your scene as frame_images with first_frame, which is the same idea as HelixWorld's first-frame input, and put one move in the prompt. Test it at 360p first. At Sume's rate of $0.0375 a second, a 3-second draft is $0.1125 unrounded; a job is billed ceiled to the cent.

}Limits
Keep one move per clip. Combined moves, or a sound that should pan with the camera, are where HelixWorld's design (camera pose in, stereo panning out) is ahead of a text prompt. If the draft follows the move, rerun at 720p or higher with a different Idempotency-Key.
