Researchers have developed IMAGIN-4D, a novel diffusion-based system for generating human-object interactions (HOI) that utilizes reference images for more precise control. Unlike previous methods that relied on text, object geometry, or waypoints, IMAGIN-4D decomposes image conditioning both spatially and temporally. This allows the system to extract specific interaction states from a reference image for a particular frame and to attend to different visual cues across the generated sequence. The system demonstrates improved fine-grained interaction control and adherence to waypoints compared to existing baselines. AI
