• Abstract: Recovering camera and hand motion in world coordinates from egocentric video is a key capability for activity understanding, robot learning, and augmented reality. Existing systems typically decompose this problem into separate stages for camera motion, depth estimation, hand reconstruction, and trajectory refinement, resulting in substantial computational overhead and preventing the joint modeling of camera and hand motion. We introduce MINT (Minting IN-the-Wild Trajectories), a foundation model for world-space hand motion reconstruction from ego-centric RGB video. From a single shared spatiotemporal video representation, MINT jointly predicts the camera trajectory, field of view (FoV), camera-frame hand states, and per-frame hand observability, and then produces world-space hand motion via explicit coordinate transformations. Training such a model at scale is challenging, since paired world-space camera and hand annotations are scarce. We therefore develop an open-source labeling EGOPIPELINE that converts large collections of public egocentric videos into structured camera-and-hand trajectory supervision. MINT is first pretrained on these large-scale pseudo-labels and then fine-tuned on a small set of high-quality camera-and-hand annotations. Across public benchmarks MINT approaches state-of-the-art accuracy without seeing either benchmark in training, reaching 0.945 frame accuracy, 13.646 mm PA-MPJPE-p and 55.058 px EPE-p for camera-frame bimanual reconstruction on HOT3D, 4.690 mm RPE-T and 0.284 degrees RPE-R for camera trajectory, and a 3.67x end-to-end speedup over the labeling pipeline that supervises it. We release the model, training and inference code, labeling pipeline, and a curated 1,021-hour egocentric trajectory dataset.
