Researchers have developed DewHand, a novel system for reconstructing metric world-space hand motion from egocentric videos. This unified, single-stage pipeline jointly predicts hand and camera motion, avoiding error propagation common in multi-stage methods. DewHand addresses scale ambiguity by combining scene-level geometric features with metric-space supervision and uses a generative formulation with flow matching to handle occlusions and out-of-view hands, outperforming direct regression in accuracy and temporal smoothness. Experiments on HOT3D and ARCTIC datasets show significant improvements in world-space accuracy and camera scale recovery compared to state-of-the-art methods, with DewHand also achieving the lowest error on HoloAssist, H2O, and TACO datasets in zero-shot evaluations.
