$Example-based Motion Synthesis via Generative Motion Matching paper page: present GenMM, a generative model that "mines" as many diverse motions as possible from a single or few example sequences. In stark contrast to existing data-driven methods, which typically require long offline training time, are prone to visual artifacts, and tend to fail on large and complex skeletons, GenMM inherits the training-free nature and the superior quality of the well-known Motion Matching method. GenMM can synthesize a high-quality motion within a fraction of a second, even with highly complex and large skeletal structures. At the heart of our generative framework lies the generative motion matching module, which utilizes the bidirectional visual similarity as a generative cost function to motion matching, and operates in a multi-stage framework to progressively refine a random guess using exemplar motion matches. In addition to diverse motion generation, we show the versatility of our generative framework by extending it to a number of scenarios that are not possible with motion matching alone, including motion completion, key frame-guided generation, infinite looping, and motion reassembly.$

Seamless Human Motion Composition with Blended Positional Encodings Conditional human motion generation is an important topic with many applications in virtual reality, gaming, and robotics. While prior works have focused on generating motion guided by text, music, or scenes, these typically result in isolated motions confined to short durations. Instead, we address the generation of long, continuous sequences guided by a series of varying textual descriptions. In this context, we introduce FlowMDM, the first diffusion-based model that generates seamless Human Motion Compositions (HMC) without any postprocessing or redundant denoising steps. For this, we introduce the Blended Positional Encodings, a technique that leverages both absolute and relative positional encodings in the denoising chain. More specifically, global motion coherence is recovered at the absolute stage, whereas smooth and realistic transitions are built at the relative stage. As a result, we achieve state-of-the-art results in terms of accuracy, realism, and smoothness on the Babel and HumanML3D datasets. FlowMDM excels when trained with only a single description per motion sequence thanks to its Pose-Centric Cross-ATtention, which makes it robust against varying text descriptions at inference time. Finally, to address the limitations of existing HMC metrics, we propose two new metrics: the Peak Jerk and the Area Under the Jerk, to detect abrupt transitions.

Your brain doesn't simply record reality - it interprets it. In this video, the Ferris wheel (the large rotating wheel seen at amusement parks) can appear to spin in two different directions even though the image never changes. This happens because the brain is a prediction machine. Your visual cortex receives the same visual information, but the prefrontal cortex helps decide how to interpret the motion. If you focus on one cabin and imagine it moving the opposite way, your brain can flip the direction of the wheel. Nothing in the video changes - only your brain's prediction does. This is how perception works: the world stays the same, but the brain's internal model can completely change what you experience. capiomind

Excited to share our latest work on 🎧spatial audio-driven human motion generation. We aim to tackle a largely underexplored yet important problem of enabling virtual humans to move naturally in response to spatial audio—capturing not just what is heard, but also where the sound is coming from. To this end, we introduce the Spatial Audio-Driven Human Motion (SAM) dataset—the first comprehensive dataset featuring paired high-quality human motion and spatial audio recordings. For benchmarking, we develop a generative framework for human MOtion generation driven by SPAtial audio, termed MOSPA, which learns to synthesize realistic and diverse human motions conditioned on spatial audio input. We hope this research could provide a foundation for future research in spatial perception, virtual characters, and embodied AI. The dataset and model will be open-sourced soon. A big thank you to our intern, Shuyang Xu, for the wonderful collaboration! Congratulations, Shuyang!

How Experiencing awe affects the brain and body: "When your visual aperture is small, your perception of time is different. You're fine slicing." "If I'm in line at the store and I have some place to be, my visual aperture shrinks and it feels like the person in front of me is taking forever." "When we see a horizon and our aperture opens up, we relax, but we also are taking fewer time bit snapshots." "It's not about having a small aperture or a big aperture per se, it's the process of going from one aperture to the next." "With awe we have a sense of self, and then we connect to vast things out there. It changes the neurophysiology of the mind." Dr. Dacher Keltner on Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D.

In Second Fiddle (1939), Sonja Henie—three-time Olympic gold medalist—turns figure skating into pure cinematic art. What makes this scene special isn’t just the romance with Tyrone Power, but the way the ice performance is filmed: real Olympic-level skating, no doubles, no tricks of modern CGI—just precision, speed, and control captured in long, elegant camera movements. The rink becomes a stage, and every spin and glide is choreographed like ballet for the lens. 1930s Hollywood transforms sport into visual poetry—where skating isn’t shown as competition, but as fluid motion, music, and emotion merged into one continuous flow. ❄️🎬

Agile Continuous Jumping in Discontinuous Terrains discuss: We focus on agile, continuous, and terrain-adaptive jumping of quadrupedal robots in discontinuous terrains such as stairs and stepping stones. Unlike single-step jumping, continuous jumping requires accurately executing highly dynamic motions over long horizons, which is challenging for existing approaches. To accomplish this task, we design a hierarchical learning and control framework, which consists of a learned heightmap predictor for robust terrain perception, a reinforcement-learning-based centroidal-level motion policy for versatile and terrain-adaptive planning, and a low-level model-based leg controller for accurate motion tracking. In addition, we minimize the sim-to-real gap by accurately modeling the hardware characteristics. Our framework enables a Unitree Go1 robot to perform agile and continuous jumps on human-sized stairs and sparse stepping stones, for the first time to the best of our knowledge. In particular, the robot can cross two stair steps in each jump and completes a 3.5m long, 2.8m high, 14-step staircase in 4.5 seconds. Moreover, the same policy outperforms baselines in various other parkour tasks, such as jumping over single horizontal or vertical discontinuities.

I believe that the interfaces of the future will disappear. Instead of buttons and menus, we will interact with objects. The process itself becomes the feedback. Building software is always a complex craft, but spatial computing is a different beast entirely. It demands a fusion of visual art, logic, and spatial UI where every interaction happens in the air around you. With OPERATOR, built for Apple Vision Pro, we explored this by turning music into a sculpture. The music track isn't a timeline anymore; it’s a 3D object you can walk around, touch, and modify from any angle.

The next frontier in protein design will not be defined by structure alone, but by the capacity to engineer motion as a first-class principle of function. This is because dynamics is where the real biology lives. Foundational work by Karplus, Levitt & Warshel made clear that chemistry cannot be understood without motion, mechanism, and scale. Gō, Brooks & others showed that proteins possess characteristic collective motions - low-frequency normal modes that capture how whole molecules bend, breathe, and fluctuate. Frauenfelder then sharpened the picture further: proteins are not static objects occupying a single minimum, but dynamic ensembles traversing rugged energy landscapes. And yet the modern AI revolution in protein science has been, above all, a revolution in structure. In our new paper in Matter, Bo Ni and I ask a different question: not what structure will this sequence adopt? but what sequence will realize a prescribed pattern of motion? VibeGen inverts the conventional design paradigm. Rather than treating dynamics as a consequence to be analyzed after the fact, it makes dynamics the design objective from the outset. Using a language diffusion model with two cooperating agents - a designer that proposes sequences and a predictor that critiques them against the target motion profile - the system converges on de novo proteins with tailored vibrational behavior. One of the most intriguing results is a form of functional degeneracy - distinct sequences and distinct folds can satisfy the same target dynamical specification. For a given functional pattern of motion, evolution may have sampled only a small region of the physically realizable design space. The space of viable molecular mechanics may be far larger than the repertoire biology happened to discover. We have made "vibe" into a cultural metaphor - something intuitive, affective, subjective. But at the molecular scale, vibe is not metaphor: It is physics. For a protein, the vibe is the pattern of motion itself; the fluctuations, resonances, and collective displacements that determine what the molecule can do.
