• Abstract summary: AvatarGO is a novel framework designed to generate realistic 4D HOI scenes from textual inputs. Our framework not only generates coherent compositional motions, but also exhibits greater robustness in handling issues. As the first attempt to synthesize 4D avatars with object interactions, we hope AvatarGO could open new doors for human-centric 4D content creation.

• Abstract: Recent advancements in diffusion models have led to significant improvements in the generation and animation of 4D full-body human-object interactions (HOI). Nevertheless, existing methods primarily focus on SMPL-based motion generation, which is limited by the scarcity of realistic large-scale interaction data. This constraint affects their ability to create everyday HOI scenes. This paper addresses this challenge using a zero-shot approach with a pre-trained diffusion model. Despite this potential, achieving our goals is difficult due to the diffusion model's lack of understanding of ''where'' and ''how'' objects interact with the human body. To tackle these issues, we introduce AvatarGO, a novel framework designed to generate animatable 4D HOI scenes directly from textual inputs. Specifically, 1) for the ''where'' challenge, we propose LLM-guided contact retargeting, which employs Lang-SAM to identify the contact body part from text prompts, ensuring precise representation of human-object spatial relations. 2) For the ''how'' challenge, we introduce correspondence-aware motion optimization that constructs motion fields for both human and object models using the linear blend skinning function from SMPL-X. Our framework not only generates coherent compositional motions, but also exhibits greater robustness in handling penetration issues. Extensive experiments with existing methods validate AvatarGO's superior generation and animation capabilities on a variety of human-object pairs and diverse poses. As the first attempt to synthesize 4D avatars with object interactions, we hope AvatarGO could open new doors for human-centric 4D content creation.

  This paper focuses on the task of generating human motions in 3D indoor scenes given text descriptions of the human-scene interactions. We propose a new approach that decomposes the complex problem into two more manageable sub-problems. For language grounding of the target object, we leverage the power of large language models; for motion generation, we design an object-centric scene representation.

  Commercial AR/VR products consist only of a headset and controllers, providing very limited sensor data of the user's pose. We introduce a method to retarget motions in real-time from sparse human sensor data to characters of various morphologies. We show that the avatar poses often match the user surprisingly well, despite having no sensor information of the lower body available.
