Researchers at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology have developed a technology that allows users to control movement in AI-generated videos using simple mouse gestures, without requiring large computing resources or retraining on massive video datasets.
The system, called Time to Move, or TTM, was developed by Dr. Or Litany of the Henry and Marilyn Taub Faculty of Computer Science, together with Prof. Ron Kimmel and students Asaf Singer, Noam Rotstein and Amir Mann.
Litany presented the research last month at the International Conference on Learning Representations, or ICLR 2026, in Brazil. The conference is considered one of the leading global gatherings in deep learning and artificial intelligence.
The technology is designed to address one of the key limitations of AI video generation: the difficulty of precisely controlling how objects and characters move over time. “Our development solves one of the main limitations of AI-based video generation: the difficulty of precisely controlling the movement of objects and characters over time,” Litany said.
