Users can now steer avatar interactions with precise control over gaze, head motion, and emotional expression, transforming virtual communication dynamics.

Reconstructing dynamic hand-object interactions from monocular video can be 6x faster and significantly more accurate by ditching heavy neural representations for a revived Sum-of-Gaussians approach.

Event cameras can now enable significantly more accurate and stable egocentric 3D human pose estimation, thanks to a novel state machine approach that directly leverages fine-grained event dynamics.
