TouchSight: Bare-Handed Tactile Prediction from Egocentric Video via Generative Visual Augmentation

TouchSight is a monocular egocentric vision framework that predicts dense full-hand contact forces without tactile sensors. It uses 500 hours of pressure-glove data and a 20-hour TwinTouch-20H dataset where generative models render gloved recordings as bare-hand videos, bridging the appearance gap. The system outperforms previous methods on OakInk2, generalizes to unseen natural bare-hand egocentric videos, and improves as glove supervision increases.

TouchSight: Bare-Handed Tactile Prediction from Egocentric Video via Generative Visual Augmentation

TouchSight is a monocular egocentric vision framework that predicts dense full-hand contact forces from video. It uses 500 hours of pressure‑glove recordings and hand‑object interaction data, and introduces TwinTouch‑20H, a dataset of 20 hours of paired visual data where generative models render gloved recordings as bare‑hand observations while preserving tactile labels. The system outperforms prior methods on OakInk2, generalizes qualitatively to natural bare‑hand egocentric videos from unseen datasets, and improves consistently as glove supervision scales.

EgoHSI3R: Online 4D Hand-Scene Interaction Reconstruction from Egocentric Video

EgoHSI3R is a unified feed‑forward framework that reconstructs 4D hand‑scene interactions from egocentric monocular video. It jointly estimates camera motion, dense scene geometry, world‑space bilateral MANO hands, and per‑vertex hand contact by maintaining a recurrent scene representation and using hand‑centric prompts and MANO vertex queries. The method achieves the lowest world‑space hand joint error on ARCTIC while offering faster inference than existing pipelines.

PACT: End-to-End Learning of Human Pose, Contacts, and Forces from Video

PACT is an end‑to‑end model that jointly learns human pose, contacts, and contact forces from monocular video. It augments a human reconstruction foundation model with learnable contact‑force tokens and a temporal transformer, and uses physics‑based supervision to enforce consistency between motion and forces. The authors also create a data annotation pipeline and a real‑world climbing benchmark, ForceWall, to train and evaluate the system, achieving state‑of‑the‑art performance and better generalization than staged approaches.
