w0rldw3aver360-motion

6 curated 15-second 360° equirectangular video clips sourced from NASA public-domain media — a redistributable, legally-clean dataset for Gaussian splatting, dynamic scene reconstruction, and 360-video model training.

Why this exists

Hugging Face hosts several large "360 video" collections, but none carry a usable license (YouTube rips / gated robotics data). This dataset fills that gap with verified public-domain U.S. Government footage, quality-filtered per frame.

Scenes

  • Stennis B-2 Test Stand ×4 windows (62s/155s/285s/415s of a 519s source) — industrial rocket test facility, 1920×960 native equirect, 30fps
  • Perseverance first 360° of Mars (Jezero Crater) ×2 windows (13s/15s) — letterboxed source auto-cropped to true 2:1 with zenith compensation

Source audit (what was rejected and why)

Every NASA "360" candidate was frame-audited before inclusion:

SourceVerdict
Stennis B-2 Test Stand✅ native 2:1 equirect, clean
Perseverance first 360✅ true equirect (letterboxed) — cropped to 2:1
Curiosity Gediz Vallis 8K (both)❌ partial cylindrical Navcam mosaics, jagged unimaged zones + burned-in annotation text
Hurricane Maria 360❌ flat 3D data-visualization render, no spherical content

Provenance

All footage: NASA (images.nasa.gov), U.S. Government work, public domain (17 U.S.C. § 105). Curated & captioned by TheMindExpansionNetwork / Sonic Forage, 2026-08.

Recommended use

  • Gaussian splatting from monocular 360 video (rotate-pan camera path = parallax baseline)
  • Dynamic-scene NeRF/splat benchmarks needing permissive video
  • 360-video caption→video model training (trigger: w0rldw3aver360)
