• Abstract: Generating natural hand-object interactions in 3D is challenging as the resulting hand and object motions are expected to be physically plausible and semantically meaningful. Furthermore, generalization to unseen objects is hindered by the limited scale of available hand-object interaction datasets. In this paper, we propose a novel method, dubbed DiffH2O, which can synthesize realistic, one or two-handed object interactions from provided text prompts and geometry of the object. The method introduces three techniques that enable effective learning from limited data. First, we decompose the task into a grasping stage and an text-based manipulation stage and use separate diffusion models for each. In the grasping stage, the model only generates hand motions, whereas in the manipulation phase both hand and object poses are synthesized. Second, we propose a compact representation that tightly couples hand and object poses and helps in generating realistic hand-object interactions. Third, we propose two different guidance schemes to allow more control of the generated motions: grasp guidance and detailed textual guidance. Grasp guidance takes a single target grasping pose and guides the diffusion model to reach this grasp at the end of the grasping stage, which provides control over the grasping pose. Given a grasping motion from this stage, multiple different actions can be prompted in the manipulation phase. For the textual guidance, we contribute comprehensive text descriptions to the GRAB dataset and show that they enable our method to have more fine-grained control over hand-object interactions. Our quantitative and qualitative evaluation demonstrates that the proposed method outperforms baseline methods and leads to natural hand-object motions.

  We propose a simple yet effective framework that jointly models the relationship between the body, hands, and the given object motion sequences. We introduce novel contact-aware losses and incorporate a data-driven, carefully designed guidance. Experimental results demonstrate that our approach outperforms the state-of-the-art method and generates plausible whole-body motion sequences.

  BimArt is a novel generative approach for synthesizing 3D bimanual hand interactions with articulated objects. We first generate distance-based contact maps conditioned on the object trajectory with an articulation-aware feature representation. The learned contact prior is then used to guide our hand motion generator, producing diverse and realistic bimanual motions for object movement and articulation.

  ManiDext is a unified hierarchical diffusion-based framework for generating hand manipulation and grasp poses. Our key insight is that accurately modeling the contact correspondences between objects and hands during interactions is crucial. Our framework first generates contact maps and correspondence embeddings on the object's surface. Based on these fine-grained correspondences, we introduce a novel approach that integrates the iterative refinement process into the diffusion process.

  This paper introduces the first text-guided work for generating the sequence of hand-object interaction in 3D. For contact generation, a VAE-based network takes as input a text and an object mesh, and generates the probability of contacts between the surfaces of hands and the object. For motion generation, a Transformer-based diffusion model utilizes this 3D contact map as a strong prior for generating physically plausible hand-object motion.
