## Usage

### Load with 🤗 datasets library

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset("verbosetechlabsllp/manufacturing-unit-egocentric-sample")
print(dataset)
```

### Load metadata directly with Pandas

```python
import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_csv("hf://datasets/verbosetechlabsllp/manufacturing-unit-egocentric-sample/metadata.csv")
print(df.head())
print(df['activity'].value_counts())
```

### Download a specific video

```python
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download

video_path = hf_hub_download(
    repo_id="verbosetechlabsllp/manufacturing-unit-egocentric-sample",
    filename="videos/Coiling.mp4",
    repo_type="dataset"
)
print(f"Video downloaded to: {video_path}")
```
