New AI method offers fine-grained control over co-speech gesture generation

Researchers have developed InteractGesture, a novel method for controlling co-speech gesture generation in AI models. This approach allows for fine-grained spatial control over individual joints during motion synthesis. InteractGesture utilizes a differentiable RVQ-VAE decoder to guide diffusion sampler latents and addresses the challenge of streaming generation by employing Progressive Chunk Guidance, which allows spatial constraints to propagate backward across chunk boundaries. AI

IMPACT Enables more precise and controllable AI-generated human motion for applications like virtual avatars and animation.

    InteractGesture: Progressive Chunk Guidance for Continuous Streaming Co-Speech Gesture Control

    arXiv:2608.25734v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Co-speech gesture generation has made significant progress toward realistic full-body motion from speaker audio, yet existing models lack fine-grained spatial controllability of individual joints. To address this, we introduce \emph…
