Dual-Arm VR Manipulation Video Dataset

A VideoFolder-format dataset of first-person (egocentric) dual-hand manipulation clips captured with a VR headset, covering everyday bimanual tasks — handling a box, carrying a tray, picking items into a cart, switching on a lamp, folding a shirt, stacking blocks, capping a marker, loading a dishwasher, inserting pens, and placing fruit onto a tray. Provided by Thordata. Each clip is annotated with a temporal action breakdown, per-segment descriptions, an English caption, and technical metadata.
