ECCV 2026 Workshop on Interactive Social Avatars
The Interactive Social Avatars workshop at ECCV 2026 focuses on motion-level synthesis and multimodal behavior generation for interactive virtual humans in dyadic conversation, emphasizing 3D body pose, gesture, and facial motion. It hosts the 4th GENEA Challenge, centered on the new 4000-hour dyadic Seamless Interaction Dataset, to advance benchmarks for speech-driven gesture generation and evaluation.
