Decision

What the current evidence supports

Agent-assisted assessment · independently reviewed · 2026-10-01

Suitable for a scoped egocentric-data research pilot if access is available.

Why
External academic work demonstrates useful Gen 2 collection, with tracking errors and limited validation across environments and sensors.
Next
Benchmark required streams and tracking accuracy in your collection conditions, including occlusion and recording-start behavior, before scaling.

Constraints

Blockers

  • Access depends on the research program.
  • Hand tracking degrades under occlusion.
  • Recording health checks and initial tracking frames require handling.
  • Sensor-specific robustness needs application-level validation.
  • No integrated display for visual AR interfaces.
  • External processing models add integration work.
