## Summary

Gibson Virtual Environment provides a perceptual training environment for embodied agents by virtualizing real spaces, and currently contains more than 1,400 floor spaces from 572 full buildings. Its built-in "Goggles" synthesis mechanism allows trained models to be deployed directly to the real world without additional domain adaptation. The environment subjects agents to physical and spatial constraints, and the paper demonstrates sample perceptual tasks learned within it; the code, dataset, and project website are openly available.
