Egocentric First-Person POV Household Activities Dataset
Access a purpose-built collection of HD egocentric video capturing everyday household activities directly from the participant's point of view. The dataset focuses on natural object interaction, task execution, appliance use, household workflows, and daily living activities for embodied AI, robotics, first-person vision, and procedural understanding.
Initial pilot productions have been completed, with the collection currently available for expansion and pre-order. Consistent production standards and realistic household environments provide a foundation for scalable first-person data acquisition, including bespoke commissioned production around specific tasks, objects, environments, and model requirements. First-person capture adds a viewpoint that third-person human activity recognition datasets rarely provide.
Dataset Preview
Representative first-person previews showing household tasks, object manipulation, appliance use, food preparation, cleaning, organisation, and other daily activities from the participant's viewpoint.
The examples illustrate hand-object interaction and task progression from an egocentric perspective, including the visual occlusion, viewpoint changes, and close-range manipulation typical of first-person household activity.
