• Abstract summary: During remote communication, participants often share both digital and physical content, such as product designs, digital assets, and environments. We propose Thing2Reality, an Extended Reality (XR) communication platform that enhances spontaneous discussions of both digital and physical items. Our user study revealed that the ability to interact with and manipulate 3D representations of objects significantly enhances the efficiency of discussions.

• Abstract: During remote communication, participants often share both digital and physical content, such as product designs, digital assets, and environments, to enhance mutual understanding. Recent advances in augmented communication have facilitated users to swiftly create and share digital 2D copies of physical objects from video feeds into a shared space. However, conventional 2D representations of digital objects restricts users' ability to spatially reference items in a shared immersive environment. To address this, we propose Thing2Reality, an Extended Reality (XR) communication platform that enhances spontaneous discussions of both digital and physical items during remote sessions. With Thing2Reality, users can quickly materialize ideas or physical objects in immersive environments and share them as conditioned multiview renderings or 3D Gaussians. Thing2Reality enables users to interact with remote objects or discuss concepts in a collaborative manner. Our user study revealed that the ability to interact with and manipulate 3D representations of objects significantly enhances the efficiency of discussions, with the potential to augment discussion of 2D artifacts.

  We introduce InteractVLM, a novel method to estimate 3D contact points on human bodies and objects from single in-the-wild images. Existing methods rely on 3D contact annotations collected via expensive motion-capture systems or tedious manual labeling. We propose a new task called Semantic Human Contact estimation, where human contact predictions are conditioned explicitly on object semantics.

• OOD-HOI: Text-Driven 3D Whole-Body Human-Object Interactions Generation Beyond Training Domains [66.62502882481373]
  Current methods tend to focus either on the body or the hands, which limits their ability to produce cohesive and realistic interactions. We propose OOD-HOI, a text-driven framework for generating whole-body human-object interactions that generalize well to new objects and actions. Our approach integrates a dual-branch reciprocal diffusion model to synthesize initial interaction poses, a contact-guided interaction refiner to improve physical accuracy based on predicted contact areas, and a dynamic adaptation mechanism which includes semantic adjustment and geometry deformation to improve robustness.

  seamless integration of virtual and physical worlds in augmented reality benefits from the system semantically "understanding" the physical environment. We introduce a multimodal 3D object representation that unifies both semantic and linguistic knowledge with the geometric representation. We demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed system through two real-world AR applications on Magic Leap 2: a) spatial search in physical environments with natural language and b) an intelligent inventory system that tracks object changes over time.
