Researcher clarifies: Astra chains SAM3D and HaMeR, didn't one-shot hand-object pose capture

- A researcher from IRV Lab clarifies that "one-shot" was the wrong word: Astra doesn't magically solve hand-object reconstruction — it calls SAM3D, HaMeR, OpenCV and other tools to assemble the pipeline.
- His team spent nearly two years building a multi-view capture system and pipeline for accurate hand-object poses, and the showcased video came from their hand-crafted pipeline, not Astra.
