EgoForce: Forearm-Guided Camera-Space 3D Hand Pose from a Monocular Egocentric Camera

This repository contains EgoForce model assets and supporting files for egocentric hand and arm perception. Our trained checkpoints are _DATA/epoch_460.pth and _DATA/model_weights.pth. The repository also includes third-party assets used by the pipeline, a WiLoR-based 2D hand detector and MANO hand model files.

Important licensing note

No single license applies to every file in this repository.

  • The repository metadata is set to license: other because the contents include third-party assets with different licensing terms.
  • _DATA/detector.torchscript remains subject to the original WiLoR model license.
  • _DATA/mano/* remains subject to the official MANO license.
  • This repository does not grant any additional rights to those third-party assets.
  • The detailed notice is in LICENSE.md.
