• Abstract: Prior works on 3D hand trajectory prediction are constrained by datasets that decouple motion from semantic supervision and by models that weakly link reasoning and action. To address these, we first present the EgoMAN dataset, a large-scale egocentric dataset for interaction stage-aware 3D hand trajectory prediction with 219K 6DoF trajectories and 3M structured QA pairs for semantic, spatial, and motion reasoning. We then introduce the EgoMAN model, a reasoning-to-motion framework that links vision-language reasoning and motion generation via a trajectory-token interface. Trained progressively to align reasoning with motion dynamics, our approach yields accurate and stage-aware trajectories with generalization across real-world scenes.

  Hand trajectory prediction plays a vital role in comprehending human motion patterns.

  We propose a self-supervised learning framework designed to enhance motion representation. The framework consists of two stages: first, the network is pretrained through the self-reconstruction of past sequences, and the guided reconstruction of future sequences based on past movements. Our method reduces the average prediction errors by 8.8% across Human3.6, 3DPW, and AMASS datasets.

We set up an egocentric 3D hand trajectory forecasting task that aims to predict hand trajectories in a 3D space from early observed RGB videos in a first-person view.
