Researchers have developed a method to infer transient cognitive states like confusion and hesitation from head and hand motion data captured in virtual reality. They created a new dataset and adapted a motion foundation model to work with sparse VR telemetry, enabling it to learn from large-scale full-body motion data. This approach achieved 82% accuracy in identifying cognitive states, demonstrating that VR motion contains significant behavioral information. AI
