Unified Multi-Modal Interactive & Reactive 3D Motion Generation via Rectified Flow

Generating realistic, context-aware two-person motion conditioned on diverse modalities remains a fundamental challenge for graphics, animation and embodied AI systems. Real-world applications such as VR/AR companions, social robotics and game agents require models capable of producing coordinated interpersonal behaviour while flexibly switching between interactive and reactive generation. We introduce DualFlow, the first unified and efficient framework for multi-modal two-person motion generation. DualFlow conditions 3D motion generation on diverse inputs, including text, music, and prior motion sequences. Leveraging rectified flow, it achieves deterministic straight-line sampling paths between noise and data, reducing inference time and mitigating error accumulation common in diffusion-based models. To enhance semantic grounding, DualFlow employs a novel Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) module for two-person motion that retrieves motion exemplars using music features and LLM-based text decompositions of spatial relations, body movements, and rhythmic patterns. We use a contrastive rectified flow objective to further sharpen alignment with conditioning signals and add synchronisation loss to improve inter-person temporal coordination. Extensive evaluations across interactive, reactive, and multi-modal benchmarks demonstrate that DualFlow consistently improves motion quality, responsiveness, and semantic fidelity. DualFlow achieves state-of-the-art performance in two-person multi-modal motion generation, producing coherent, expressive, and rhythmically synchronized motion.
