HOI4D

Large egocentric human–object interaction 4D dataset for hands, manipulation, and perception.

Overview

HOI4D is a large egocentric human–object interaction 4D dataset for hands, manipulation, and embodied perception. It is more “human video + 4D annotation” than robot teleop, making it valuable for pretraining perception or studying human priors before robot transfer.

Who it is for

Egocentric perception; hand-object interaction; human-to-robot transfer researchers.

Key highlights

  • Egocentric 4D HOI scale
  • Hand-object focus
  • Perception pretrain signal

When to use

  • Egocentric pretrain
  • Hand pose / interaction learning

When not to use

  • Direct robot joint-action BC without retargeting
