Abstract
Input image Video generation by InterDyn using only the hand mask sequence as control signal Force propagation Counterfactual dynamics Future #1 Future #2 Denotes a driving object motion | Tracks indicate an object with generated uncontrolled dynamics t=3 t=13 t=0 t=0 Figure 1 . We present InterDyn, a framework for synthesizing realistic interactive dynamics without 3D reconstruction and physics simulation. Our core principle is to rely on the implicit physics knowledge embedded in large-scale video generative models. Given an image and a "driving motion", our model generates the consequential scene dynamics. We investigate the generated interactive dynamics in a simple object collision scenario (bottom) and complex in-the-wild human-object interaction (top).
