Touch\'{e}World tech report : Towards Online Unified Camera--Hand Exploration in Generative Worlds

Read the original on arXiv AI →

TouchéWorld is a framework that merges gesture-driven interaction with camera-controlled video world models, enabling users to explore generated environments using both camera navigation and continuous hand motion. Starting from an initial image and a scene-description prompt, the system generates video conditioned on temporally aligned camera and hand controls, built from joint camera–hand training data derived from heterogeneous egocentric videos. The approach incorporates spatial hand-skeleton conditioning, numerical hand-motion features, causal adaptation, and few-step distillation to support chunk-level online generation, while TouchéBench evaluates hand-motion following, camera–hand coordination, online interaction, and object response.

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.

MINT: A Unified Model for World-Space Camera and Hand Motion Estimation from Scalable Egocentric Pipeline Supervision

MINT is a foundation model that directly predicts world-space two-hand trajectories from egocentric RGB video, jointly estimating camera motion, hand states, and hand presence in a single spatiotemporal representation. It uses an open-source labeling pipeline, EGOPIPELINE, to generate large-scale pseudo-labels for pretraining, followed by fine-tuning on a small set of high-quality joint annotations. The model outperforms existing multi-stage approaches in accuracy and speed, and generalizes zero‑shot to unseen egocentric datasets.

Perceive, Predict, and Plan: a Unified World Action Model for Egocentric Dexterous Manipulation

The paper introduces P³-WAM, a unified world action model for egocentric dexterous manipulation that integrates 3D perception, action-conditioned prediction, and goal-directed planning. It operates in three modes—Perceive, Predict, and Plan—using a mixture-of-transformers architecture that shares base weights and adapts to modality-specific inputs. Experiments demonstrate that unified training improves performance across all three capabilities, outperforming specialized baselines on 3D hand reconstruction and action-conditioned video prediction while producing more instruction‑adherent manipulation videos.
