The Augmented Vision department participated in the “Fifth Hands-on Egocentric Research Tutorial” at ECCV 2026 in Malmö, Sweden, on September 8, 2026. The tutorial was organised by Meta Project Aria and focused on research using egocentric sensing and wearable devices.

Dr. Alain Pagani gave the talk “From Hands to 3D: Egocentric Perception with Aria”, presenting recent research of the Augmented Vision department on 3D hand perception, hand-object interaction and 3D scene reconstruction from egocentric cameras.

The presentation included EgoForce, the department’s recent work on metric 3D hand pose and shape estimation from a monocular egocentric camera, as well as ongoing research on contact and force understanding in hand-object interactions. It also covered 3D scene reconstruction from Aria glasses using Gaussian Splatting, including reconstruction from very sparse image observations.

The tutorial provided an opportunity to present the department’s current work in egocentric perception and to exchange with the Project Aria research community.
