RekaAI/RekaDaily-10k-raw

RekaDaily-10k (raw)

Raw, unscripted, first-person daily-life video, collected through Claru, Reka's data collection marketplace — recorded by paid collectors in their own homes and workplaces on head-mounted and handheld phones, across multiple regions.

Videos are exactly as collected — no re-encoding, no cuts, no filtering beyond basic integrity checks. A processed tier (short clips with machine captions) is released separately under the same RekaDaily-10k prefix.

This dataset is being released incrementally toward the full release. Current contents: 7,834 hours / 397,171 videos / 9,836 shards / 70 TB.

The Dataset Viewer above opens on the browse table: every video as a thumbnail next to its full metadata row, so the collection can be skimmed without downloading anything. The metadata config is the same fields without the images, for lighter programmatic reads.

Structure

Videos are packed into WebDataset tar archives (~8 GB), organized by collection project:

data/<project>/shard-NNNNN.tar   # pairs of <video_id>.<mp4|mov> + <video_id>.json
metadata/browse.parquet          # one row per video: thumbnail + every metadata field
metadata/index.parquet           # the same metadata fields, without thumbnails

The metadata/ parquets are refreshed at the end of each upload batch, so they can trail the newest shards briefly while a batch is in flight.

Load the video shards with any WebDataset reader, e.g.:

import webdataset as wds
url = "https://huggingface.co/datasets/RekaAI/RekaDaily-10k-raw/resolve/main/data/egocentric_household_tasks/shard-00000.tar"
ds = wds.WebDataset(url)

The tar shards are not previewed in the Hub's Dataset Viewer (its WebDataset preview is currently broken platform-wide for video archives); they download and stream normally.

Projects: egocentric_household_tasks, egocentric_commercial_environments, video_capture_activities, video_capture, video_capture_first_person_videos_phone.

Metadata fields

Each .json sidecar carries the fields below; metadata/index.parquet and metadata/browse.parquet carry the same set, one row per video (browse adds the thumbnail image column):

field	description
video_id	unique id, matches the media file name
project	Claru collection project
flow, activities	activity taxonomy (activities-type projects): session scenario + performed actions
category, subcategory	category taxonomy (video-capture-type projects)
lighting	lighting condition, where captured
duration_s, fps, width, height, num_frames, codec	probe stats
collector	salted-hash collector id — distinct values ≈ distinct environments

Each video populates one taxonomy family (flow/activities or category/subcategory) depending on its project type.

Consent, privacy & takedown

This dataset was collected through Claru, Reka's data collection marketplace, as described in the release announcement. Collectors are paid contractors who opt in, and every session is recorded with the wearer's knowledge and agreement. Collectors are instructed to record only with the agreement of other adults present and to keep others out of frame where that is not possible.

Every video in this release has been processed to remove container metadata — GPS coordinates, device identifiers, and capture timestamps — and verified clean before upload, in addition to the automated PII screening described in the announcement. Screening is not perfect. If you find something in this release that should not be there, tell us and we will remove it: contact contact@reka.ai.
