# EgoForce: Forearm-Guided Camera-Space 3D Hand Pose from a Monocular Egocentric Camera


This repository contains EgoForce model assets and supporting files for egocentric hand and arm perception. Our trained checkpoints are `_DATA/epoch_460.pth` and `_DATA/model_weights.pth`. The repository also includes third-party assets used by the pipeline, a WiLoR-based 2D hand detector and MANO hand model files.

## Important licensing note

No single license applies to every file in this repository.

- The repository metadata is set to `license: other` because the contents include third-party assets with different licensing terms.
- `_DATA/detector.torchscript` remains subject to the original WiLoR model license.
- `_DATA/mano/*` remains subject to the official MANO license.
- This repository does not grant any additional rights to those third-party assets.
- The detailed notice is in [`LICENSE.md`](LICENSE.md).
