Researchers have developed HOPE, a novel framework for estimating physical pressure during hand-object interactions using monocular videos. This approach treats pressure estimation as a video prediction problem, allowing it to handle diverse object shapes and dynamic interactions. HOPE integrates various pressure and contact data sources, including tactile glove data, into a shared hand vertex space to improve learning, even where metric labels are scarce. Experiments on multiple benchmarks demonstrate HOPE's ability to generalize to bare-hand videos and predict both contact and pressure. AI
