Object recognition has made great advances in the last decade, but predominately still relies on many high-quality training examples per object category. In contrast, learning new objects from only a few examples could enable many impactful applications from robotics to user personalization. Most few-shot learning research, however, has been driven by benchmark datasets that lack the high variation that these applications will face when deployed in the real-world. To close this gap, we present the ORBIT dataset, grounded in a real-world application of teachable object recognizers for people who are blind/low vision. The full dataset contains 4,733 videos of 588 objects recorded by 97 people who are blind/low-vision on their mobile phones, and we mark a subset of 3,822 videos of 486 objects collected by 77 collectors as the benchmark dataset. We propose a user-centric evaluation protocol to evaluate machine learning models for a teachable object recognition task on this benchmark dataset. The code for loading the dataset, computing all benchmark metrics, and running the baseline models is available at https://github.com/microsoft/ORBIT-Dataset
