HEMA practitioner builds AI dataset for tracking sword fighting

A historical swordfighter is developing an open dataset to address AI's challenges in tracking fast, complex movements like those in HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts). The dataset will feature high-speed, multi-view video clips of sword fighting, annotated with detailed metadata including timestamps, biomechanics, and computer vision hazards. The creator is seeking feedback from the AI research community on the proposed data schema to ensure its utility for testing embodied AI, particularly in areas like trajectory prediction and pose estimation.
