SVD: Spatial Video Dataset

Stereoscopic video has long been the subject of research due to its ability to deliver immersive three-dimensional content to a wide range of applications. The dual-view format inherently provides binocular disparity cues that enhance depth perception and realism, making it indispensable for fields such as telepresence, 3D mapping, and robotic vision. Until recently, however, end-to-end pipelines for capturing, encoding, and viewing high-quality stereoscopic video were neither widely accessible nor optimized for consumer-grade devices. Today's smartphones, such as the iPhone Pro, and modern Head-Mounted Displays (HMDs) like the Apple Vision Pro, offer built-in support for stereoscopic video capture, hardware-accelerated encoding, and seamless playback on devices like the Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest 3, which require minimal user intervention. Apple refers to this streamlined workflow as spatial Video. Making the full stereoscopic video process available to everyone has made new applications possible. Despite these advances, there remains a notable absence of publicly available datasets that include the complete spatial video pipeline on consumer platforms, hindering reproducibility and comparative evaluation of emerging algorithms.
