Observing and Understanding Hands in Action
in conjunction with ICCV 2025

Overview

Welcome to our HANDS@ICCV25.

We are very happy to organize HANDS workshop. This year's workshop will be held at ICCV25. See you in Honolulu.

The ninth edition of this workshop will emphasize the use of multimodal LLMs for hand-related tasks. Multimodal LLMs have revolutionized the perceptions of AI, and demonstrated groundbreaking contributions to multimodal understanding, zero-shot learning, and transfer learning. Those models can process and integrate information from different types of hand data (or modalities), allowing the model to better understand complex hand-object/-hand interaction situations by capturing richer, more diverse representations.

During the workshop, we will explore multimodal LLMs for hand-related tasks through the talks of invited speakers, the presentation of accepted papers, and workshop challenges.

Schedule

The workshop will be held on the afternoon of Oct. 20 (Hawai'i time) during ICCV2025.

The detailed schedule is TBD.

We will call for full-length submissions with published proceedings. Also, we will invite submission of 2-3 page extended abstracts and recent hand-related papers/posters to the workshop.

Submission Guidelines

Full Length Paper Submission Website: OpenReview

Extended Abstracts and Posters Submission Website: OpenReview Non-Proceedings

We accept full length papers, extended abstracts and posters in our workshop. The full length submissions should be anonymized and will be one-round peer reviewed. The accepted full length papers will be included in the ICCV25 conference proceedings, while others will only be presented in the workshop. We welcome papers that are accepted to the ICCV2025 main conference or previous conferences, and extended abstracts that in progress, to show the posters in our workshop.

Call for full length papers

Full length submissions should follow ICCV2025 submission policies (no more than 8 pages) and use the official ICCV 2025 template. Note that the submissions violate the double-blind policy or the dual-submission policy will be rejected without review.

Call for extended abstracts and posters

Extended abstracts are not subject to the ICCV rules, and can use other templates. They should be shorter than the equivalent of 4 pages in ICCV template format. Note that extended abstracts are not anonymized, and will not be peer reviewed. Accepted extended abstracts will only publish on our website, show in our workshop and not appear in the ICCV25 conference proceedings. Posters can be simply submitted with PDF and their brief information like paper title, authors and conference name.
