Facebook has announced<\/a> a research project that aims to push the \u201cfrontier of first-person perception\u201d, and in the process help you remember where you left your keys.<\/p>\n

The Ego4D project<\/a> provides a huge collection of first-person video and related data, plus a set of challenges for researchers to teach computers to understand the data and gather useful information from it.<\/p>\n

In September, the social media giant launched a line of \u201csmart glasses\u201d called Ray-Ban Stories<\/a>, which carry a digital camera and other features. Much like the Google Glass<\/a> project, which met mixed reviews<\/a> in 2013, this one has prompted complaints of privacy invasion<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Ego4D project aims to develop software that will make smart glasses far more useful, but may in the process enable far greater breaches of privacy.<\/p>\n

What is Ego4D?<\/h2>\n

Facebook describes the heart of the project as a massive-scale, egocentric dataset and benchmark suite collected across 74 worldwide locations and nine countries, with over 3,025 hours of daily-life activity video.<\/p>\n
