Astra hand-object reconstruction sparks clarification from researchers

UT Austin's Astra demo showed 4D hand-object reconstruction and tracking, but IRV Lab researchers clarified it is actually a pipeline combining SAM3D, HaMeR and OpenCV rather than a true one-shot system. Meanwhile, UC Berkeley's "Do as I Do" turns ordinary monocular videos into dexterous manipulation training data.
