Sample Data

The corpus, with over 500 hours of head camera video promises new insights into the natural statistics of visual experiences for visual development generally, for visual object recognition, for human face perception, and for object name learning.

Recording the availability of faces in infants' everyday environments requires a method that is not disruptive of those daily environments. Accordingly, we use a wearable camera that was lightweight, cable-free, attached to daily-wear hats, and easy for parents to use.

In a pre-visit, parents were informed about the goal of the study, consent was obtained, and they were instructed to use the camera. A hat was selected and fit to the child. Subsequently, the materials were delivered to the infant's home and the parents were reinstructed in the use of the camera.

The videos collected from parents were screened for privacy and accidental recordings (1.5% of total recording) and those sections were subsequently removed from the dataset.

These videos were obtained in the home setting. See how selective our momentary view of the world is and how it changes with development.
