Waymo Open Dataset — 3D segmentation, keypoints, and camera views. Timeline markers indicate frames with annotations (cyan = LiDAR seg, lime = 3D keypoints, light-cyan = 2D keypoints, magenta = camera seg).

## What It Does

One tool for the three most widely used AV datasets. Drop a folder or paste a URL — auto-detected, zero setup.

- **LiDAR point clouds** with multiple colormap modes (intensity, height, range, segmentation, camera projection)
- **3D bounding boxes** as wireframes or 3D models with color-coded tracking
- **Synchronized camera views** with POV switching — click a camera to jump into its viewpoint
- **Trajectory trails** showing object movement over past frames
- **Semantic segmentation** overlays (LiDAR and camera)
- **Timeline** with play/pause, frame scrubber, and buffer progress bars

Dataset format is auto-detected from folder structure.

## Quick Start

### Local files (drag & drop)

1. Open the [live demo](https://egolens.org)
2. Drag & drop your dataset folder into the browser
3. Done — browse frames, toggle sensors, play the timeline

### URL Loading

Load data directly from S3 or any static file server by providing a URL.

**Two modes:**

- **URL only** — auto-discovers all segments/scenes in the directory
- **URL + Segment ID** — loads a specific segment directly (works with any static file server)

```
https://egolens.org/?dataset=argoverse2&data=https://your-server.com/av2/sensor/val/
https://egolens.org/?dataset=nuscenes&data=https://your-server.com/nuscenes/
https://egolens.org/?dataset=waymo&data=https://your-server.com/waymo_data/&scene=SEGMENT_ID
```

The URL should point to a directory containing the dataset's standard folder structure. Works with S3 buckets, any HTTP server, or localhost.

> **Note:** Waymo's license prohibits data redistribution, so no hosted demo data is available. You'll need to host your own copy after accepting the [Waymo Open Dataset License](https://waymo.com/open/terms/).

### Share View

**Point your team to exactly what you see.** When data is loaded via URL, click Share View to get a link that encodes your exact view — frame, colormap, camera angle, overlays, everything. Paste it in Slack or a PR comment and your teammate lands on the same frame, same angle, same overlays. No screenshots, no "go to frame 142 and turn on segmentation."

Share what you see — one link captures frame, camera angle, overlays, and all settings.

## Dev Setup

```bash
git clone https://github.com/egolens/egolens.git
cd egolens
npm install
npm run dev
```

```bash
npm run build   # Type-check + production build
npm run lint    # ESLint
npm test        # Vitest
```

## Built With

React 19 · TypeScript · Three.js · React Three Fiber · Vite · Zustand · hyparquet · Web Workers

## Browser Support

**Chrome / Edge recommended.** Safari may crash on large datasets due to WebKit memory limits. Firefox works but lacks the folder picker API.
