This survey consolidates research on predicting the future from first-person (egocentric) vision, proposing a unified terminology and systematically reviewing its applications, challenges, datasets, and methodologies. It identifies key research gaps, including the need for standardized benchmarks and more diverse datasets, to advance real-world applications.

Key insights

  • Egocentric videos provide a unique perspective valuable for understanding human perception and interaction, offering direct insights into wearer intentions.
  • Standardized benchmarks, such as those for short-term action anticipation on EPIC-KITCHENS, are crucial for driving research progress and systematic comparison, with their absence hindering other prediction tasks.
  • While datasets are growing in size and richness, they often lack critical modalities (e.g., depth, paired first/third-person views) and diverse real-world scenarios (e.g., industrial, multi-person interactions).
