FRAME: Floor-aligned Representation for Avatar Motion from Egocentric Video
Egocentric motion capture with a head-mounted body-facing stereo camera is crucial for VR and AR applications but presents significant challenges such as heavy occlusions and limited annotated real-world data. Existing methods rely on synthetic pretraining and struggle to generate smooth and accurate predictions in real-world settings, particularly for lower limbs. Our work addresses these limitations by introducing a lightweight VR-based data collection setup with on-board, real-time 6D pose tracking. Using this setup, we collected the most extensive real-world dataset for ego-facing ego-mounted cameras to date in size and motion variability. Effectively integrating this multimodal input -- device pose and camera feeds -- is challenging due to the differing characteristics of each data source. To address this, we propose FRAME, a simple yet effective architecture that combines device pose and camera feeds for state-of-the-art body pose prediction through geometrically sound multimodal integration and can run at 300 FPS on modern hardware. Lastly, we showcase a novel training strategy to enhance the model's generalization capabilities. Our approach exploits the problem's geometric properties, yielding high-quality motion capture free from common artifacts in prior works. Qualitative and quantitative evaluations, along with extensive comparisons, demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.

Making Avatars Interact: Towards Text-Driven Human-Object Interaction for Controllable Talking Avatars
Generating talking avatars is a fundamental task in video generation. Although existing methods can generate full-body talking avatars with simple human motion, extending this task to grounded human-object interaction (G…
Video GenerationConsistentAvatar: Learning to Diffuse Fully Consistent Talking Head Avatar with Temporal Guidance
Diffusion models have shown impressive potential on talking head generation. While plausible appearance and talking effect are achieved, these methods still suffer from temporal, 3D or expression inconsistency due to the…

We present SentiAvatar, a framework for building expressive interactive 3D digital humans, and use it to create SuSu, a virtual character that speaks, gestures, and emotes in real time. Achieving such a system remains ch…
Giving Faces Their Feelings Back: Explicit Emotion Control for Feedforward Single-Image 3D Head Avatars
We present a framework for explicit emotion control in feed-forward, single-image 3D head avatar reconstruction. Unlike existing pipelines where emotion is implicitly entangled with geometry or appearance, we treat emoti…
