• Abstract: Synthesizing physically accurate mirror reflections remains a fundamental challenge for modern text-to-image diffusion models, which are increasingly critical for generating synthetic training data for embodied AI and robotic perception. These models typically struggle with strict geometric constraints, leading to hallucinations that degrade the utility of the synthetic data. To address this, we introduce a novel, end-to-end physics-aware generation framework namely PhysMirror that natively enforces projective geometry through explicit 3D spatial priors. Our method automatically lifts prompted objects into 3D meshes and constructs a lightweight, mathematically exact mirror scene within a simulated environment. By rendering this explicit 3D scene, we extract precise 2D conditioning elements, such as depth maps and segmentation maps, that serve as robust guiding signals for downstream diffusion models, guiding them to generate images with physically correct mirror reflections. Moreover, we introduce Mirror Consistency Score (MCS), reference-free, fully automated metric that quantifies physical correctness using dense feature matching and vanishing point convergence. Experimental results on our newly constructed MirrOB dataset demonstrate that our approach outperforms state-of-the-art baselines in reflection accuracy and physical realism, while maintaining strong text-to-image semantic alignment, providing a reliable pipeline for embodied AI data generation.
