Data Collection for AR/VR Headset Performance Evaluation

This technical report outlines the data collection process undertaken to support the launch of consumer AR/VR headsets by a leading tech company. The objective was to gather real-world, algorithm-ready quality data from diverse home environments to ensure product inclusivity and functionality. The project involved collecting ground truth data using motion capture systems from 1250 rooms across 336 homes in various global locations, including North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific. The data collection was executed in stages, starting with a proof-of-concept in the San Francisco Bay area, followed by scaling operations to meet the Client's requirements. The report details the logistics of data management, security measures, and the collaboration with the Client to refine data collection procedures. The results indicate that the collected data has significantly contributed to the development of multiple VR headsets and software products, enabling the Client to set performance objectives and innovate further in the AR/VR space.
