Researchers have introduced HOPformer, a novel end-to-end transformer model designed for egocentric 3D hand-object pose estimation. This model jointly predicts hand and object poses in a single pass, improving robustness through cross-attention that conditions object features on hand priors. To facilitate this research, the team also released EPIC-Contact, a new dataset featuring 2.3K clips of in-the-wild egocentric scenes with detailed 3D hand-object contact correspondences and posed meshes. HOPformer demonstrates significant performance gains on both existing and the new dataset, nearly doubling success rates on EPIC-Contact. AI
