The data captures a wide range of activities from the \u2018egocentric\u2019 perspective\u2014that is from the viewpoint of the person carrying out the activity. The University of Bristol is the only UK representative in this diverse and international effort, collecting 270 hours from 82 participants who captured footage of their chosen activities of daily living\u2014such as practicing a musical instrument, gardening, grooming their pet, or assembling furniture.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the not-too-distant future you could be wearing smart AR glasses that guide you through a recipe or how to fix your bike\u2014they could even remind you where you left your keys,\u201d said Principal Investigator at the University of Bristol and Professor of Computer Vision, Dima Damen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The University of Bristol is part of an international consortium of 13 universities in partnership with Facebook AI, that collaborated to advance egocentric perception.
