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, EgoCross, and CASTLE.

HD-EPIC

EgoCross

CASTLE

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.

Ego4D Challenges

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 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).

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):

• Egocentric vision for human activity analysis and understanding, including action recognition, action detection, audio-visual action perception and object state change detection
• Egocentric vision for anticipating human behaviour, actions and objects
• Egocentric vision for 3D perception and interaction, including dynamic scene reconstruction, hand-object reconstruction, long-term object tracking, NLQ and visual queries, long-term video understanding
• Head-mounted eye tracking and gaze estimation including attention modelling and next fixation prediction
• Egocentric vision for object/event recognition and retrieval
• Egocentric vision for summarization
• Daily life and activity monitoring
• Egocentric vision for human skill learning, assistance, and robotics
• Egocentric vision for social interaction and human behaviour understanding
• Privacy and ethical concerns with wearable sensors and egocentric vision
• Egocentric vision for health and social good
• Symbiotic human-machine vision systems, human-wearable devices interaction
• Interactive AR/VR and Egocentric online/real-time perception

Presentation Guidelines

All accepted papers will be presented as posters. The guidelines for the posters are the same as at the main conference.

Submission Instruction

• Submit your papers through CMT: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/EgoVis2026/
• We are following the CVPR paper format: https://cvpr.thecvf.com/Conferences/2026/AuthorGuidelines
• LaTeX/Word Templates can be found here: CVPR 2026 Paper Template
• We accept full-length (max 8 pages) submissions, excluding references
• All the submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers
• Blind review: we adopt double-blind review for this workshop. Submitted papers and supplementary materials should not reveal any information about the author
• Dual submission: We do not accept paper submissions that have been published or are under review for other conferences or workshops. Accepted papers are expected to be published at CVPR proceedings
• In submitting a manuscript to EgoVis Workshop, the authors agree to the review process and agree to contribute with the reviewing process

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):

• Egocentric vision for human activity analysis and understanding, including action recognition, action detection, audio-visual action perception and object state change detection
• Egocentric vision for anticipating human behaviour, actions and objects
• Egocentric vision for 3D perception and interaction, including dynamic scene reconstruction, hand-object reconstruction, long-term object tracking, NLQ and visual queries, long-term video understanding
• Head-mounted eye tracking and gaze estimation including attention modelling and next fixation prediction
• Egocentric vision for object/event recognition and retrieval
• Egocentric vision for summarization
• Daily life and activity monitoring
• Egocentric vision for human skill learning, assistance, and robotics
• Egocentric vision for social interaction and human behaviour understanding
• Privacy and ethical concerns with wearable sensors and egocentric vision
• Egocentric vision for health and social good
• Symbiotic human-machine vision systems, human-wearable devices interaction
• Interactive AR/VR and Egocentric online/real-time perception

Format

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.
