Published at NeurIPS 2025
Welcome to the official code repository for IndEgo, a NeurIPS 2025 Datasets & Benchmarks Track accepted dataset and open-source framework for industrial egocentric vision, designed to support training, real-time guidance, process improvement, and collaboration.
🔍 Key Features
- 3000+ egocentric videos, 1000+ exocentric videos
- Task steps, audio narration, SLAM, gaze, motion data
- Reasoning-based video QA benchmark
- Annotated collaborative sequences with tools and workspace layout
🛠️ Environment Setup
Create and install from requirements.txt
# Create a new virtual environment
python3 -m venv $HOME/indego_env
source $HOME/indego_env/bin/activate
# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
📦 Dataset Structure
Each Category includes:
- Egocentric + Exocentric videos
- Gaze, motion, hand-pose logs
- Narrations (where applicable)
- Keysteps and mistakes (if any)
- SLAM data (missing for some sequences)
Warning
🚧 UPDATE IN PROGRESS 🚧
⚠️ Based on the feedback from other community members, the dataset structure is being reorganised.
File paths and folder names are changing.
If you download the data right now, your local file structure may become inconsistent with future updates. We recommend waiting until the restructuring is complete (ETA: 14 March, 2026).
⚙️ Data Processing
We utilise the following state-of-the-art tools and pipelines:
-
Eye-Gaze: Generated using the open-weight model from Meta Reality Labs.
🔗 Project Aria Eye Tracking -
SLAM & Motion: 6DoF trajectories and semi-dense point clouds were computed using Machine Perception Services (MPS).
🔗 Project Aria MPS Documentation -
Transcripts & Narration: Time-stamped audio transcriptions were generated using WhisperX for accurate alignment.
🔗 WhisperX Repository
