Wearable cameras, smart glasses, and AR/VR headsets are gaining importance for research and commercial use. They feature various sensors like cameras, depth sensors, microphones, IMUs, and GPS. Advances in machine perception enable precise user localization (SLAM), eye tracking, and hand tracking. This data allows understanding user behavior, unlocking new interaction possibilities with augmented reality. Egocentric devices may soon automatically recognize user actions, surroundings, gestures, and social relationships. These devices have broad applications in assistive technology, education, fitness, entertainment, gaming, eldercare, robotics, and augmented reality, positively impacting society.
Previously, research in this field faced challenges due to limited datasets in a data-intensive environment. However, the community's recent efforts have addressed this issue by releasing numerous large-scale datasets covering various aspects of egocentric perception, including HoloAssist, Ego4D, Ego-Exo4D, EPIC-KITCHENS, HD-EPIC, and EgoCross.
The goal of this workshop is to provide an exciting discussion forum for researchers working in this challenging and fast-growing area, and to provide a means to unlock the potential of data-driven research with our datasets to further the state-of-the-art.
We welcome submissions to the challenges from February to May (see important dates) through the leaderboards linked below. Participants to the challenges are requested to submit a technical report on their method. This is a requirement for the competition. Reports should be 2-6 pages including references. Submissions should use the CVPR format and should be submitted through the CMT website.
HoloAssist is a large-scale egocentric human interaction dataset, where two people collaboratively complete physical manipulation tasks.
Ego4D is a massive-scale, egocentric dataset and benchmark suite collected across 74 worldwide locations and 9 countries, with over 3,670 hours of daily-life activity video. Please find details below on our challenges:
Ego-Exo4D is a diverse, large-scale multi-modal multi view video dataset and benchmark challenge. Ego-Exo4D centers around simultaneously-captured ego- centric and exocentric video of skilled human activities (e.g., sports, music, dance, bike repair).
Please check the EPIC-KITCHENS website for more information on the EPIC-KITCHENS challenges. Links to individual challenges are also reported below.
Please check the HD-EPIC website for more information on the HD-EPIC challenges. Links to individual challenges are also reported below.
You are invited to submit papers to the third edition of joint egocentric vision workshop which will be held alongside CVPR 2026 in Denver.
These papers represent original work and will be published as part of proceedings alongside CVPR. We welcome all works that focus within the Egocentric Domain, it is not necessary to use the datasets in this workshop within your work. We expect a submission may contain one or more of the following topics (this is a non-exhaustive list):
All accepted papers will be presented as posters. The guidelines for the posters are the same as at the main conference.
You are invited to submit extended abstracts to the third edition of joint egocentric vision workshop which will be held alongside CVPR 2026 in Denver.
These abstracts represent existing or ongoing work and will not be published as part of any proceedings. We welcome all works that focus within the Egocentric Domain, it is not necessary to use the Ego4D dataset within your work. We expect a submission may contain one or more of the following topics (this is a non-exhaustive list):
The length of the extended abstracts is 2-4 pages, including figures, tables, and references. We invite submissions of ongoing or already published work, as well as reports on demonstrations and prototypes. The joint egocentric vision workshop gives opportunities for authors to present their work to the egocentric community to provoke discussion and feedback. Accepted work will be presented as either an oral presentation (either virtual or in-person) or as a poster presentation. The review will be single-blind, so there is no need to anonymize your work, but otherwise will follow the format of the CVPR submissions, information can be found here. Accepted abstracts will not be published as part of a proceedings, so can be uploaded to ArXiv etc. and the links will be provided on the workshop’s webpage. The submission will be managed with the CMT website.
