# Deform360: A Massive Multi-view Visuotactile Dataset for Deformable World Models

[Project Page](https://deform360.lhy.xyz/) | [Paper](https://huggingface.co/papers/2607.05390) | [GitHub Repository](https://github.com/lhy0807/deform360)

**Deform360** is a massive multi-view visuotactile dataset for deformable-object research, featuring 198 daily-life objects, 1,980 interaction sequences, and over 215 hours of observations from 41 surround-view cameras and bimanual tactile grippers to capture both global motion and contact-induced local deformations.

## Installation

To load and interact with the dataset, install the helper library:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/lhy0807/deform360.git
cd deform360
pip install -e ".[all]"
```

## Sample Usage

### Loading Aligned Multi-View Data

The `MultiViewDataset` class returns synchronized RGB frames, calibration, and the common timestamp. It is compatible with the Dataset protocol but does not require PyTorch.

```python
from deform360 import MultiViewDataset

episode = "/path/to/deform360_data/processed/001-rope/episode_0000"
with MultiViewDataset(episode) as dataset:
    sample = dataset[0]

sample["images"]         # list[(H,W,3) uint8 RGB]
sample["intrinsics"]     # list[(3,3)]
sample["extrinsics"]     # list[(4,4) camera-to-world]
sample["cameras"]        # camera names
sample["timestamp_us"]   # shared Unix timestamp in microseconds
```

### Loading Aligned Tactile Data

Load all synchronized tactile grids at the same frame index with:

```python
from deform360 import TactileDataset

episode = "/path/to/deform360_data/processed/001-rope/episode_0000"
with TactileDataset(episode) as tactile:
    frame = tactile[0]        # sensor name -> (16,32) float32
```
