Episode 1 · 4DAnyone Generates 4D Human Avatars from Monocular Video (2026-08-21, 3 posts)

AntResearch introduced 4DAnyone, a SIGGRAPH Asia 2026 project that reconstructs realistic 4D human models from ordinary monocular video by generating multi-view consistent video and lifting it to 4D Gaussian Splatting, requiring no camera arrays, calibration, or tripods.

Episode 2 · 4DAnyone: Reconstructing 4D Humans from a Single Phone Video (2026-08-31, 3 posts)

4DAnyone, an open-source system from Zhejiang University, Ant Group and others (SIGGRAPH Asia 2026), reconstructs photorealistic 4D human volumetric video from a single ordinary phone video, no multi-camera rigs or motion capture needed.
