: Vid2Coach analyzes how-to videos by combining narration and visual demonstrations to generate high-level steps and fine-grained demonstration details.
Vid2Coach isn’t just a voice‑over. The system ingests any standard how‑to video (e.g., a recipe or craft tutorial) and transforms it into a that:
: A standard instructional video (e.g., a cooking or repair tutorial) is processed by the Vid2Coach pipeline .
(* Lower numbers indicate less demand/effort/frustration, higher numbers indicate better performance)
: The system categorizes actions into punctual (quick tasks), iterative (repetitive motions), and durative (gradual changes) to provide context-aware responses and low-latency descriptions of user actions. vid2coach top

Vid2Coach uses Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) to build structured guidance including: : What step to perform next.
Vid2Coach stands out by addressing the core limitations of existing video tutorials. It doesn’t just describe the video; it understands it, interprets it, and helps you perform it. Here is why it is becoming a top choice for accessibility: 1. Transformative AI for Accessibility (BLV)
For the working coach, time is the enemy. A typical in-person lesson yields maybe 4 to 6 repetitions of analysis. Remote video analysis usually means watching a 2-minute clip, typing a paragraph of text, and hoping the athlete understands. : Vid2Coach analyzes how-to videos by combining narration
is an AI-powered system designed to turn standard how-to videos into interactive, wearable "task assistants." Developed by researchers and presented at the ACM UIST Conference 2025, the system primarily uses commercial smart glasses
: Adapts to out-of-order execution, verifying individual step completion independently. Core Applications and Future Impact
