Suggestion: Add data annotation/visualization tools for TacQuad users #17

Description

@liesliy

Thanks for the great work on AnyTouch and the TacQuad dataset! I've been working with TacQuad data recently and found the multi-sensor aligned format very useful for cross-sensor research.

One thing I noticed while working with the data: when it comes to visually inspecting and annotating tactile frames across different sensors (GelSight Mini, DIGIT, DuraGel, Tac3D), there aren't many convenient tools available. Each sensor produces data in different formats, and manually switching between them for annotation is quite tedious.

I've been developing an open-source tool called TLabel that addresses exactly this gap — it provides a sensor-agnostic annotation interface that loads tactile data from different sensors into a unified schema, supports visual annotation panels, and includes AI-assisted pre-annotation. It currently supports GelSight, DIGIT, and VTouch formats, and could potentially be extended to DuraGel/Tac3D as well.

I was wondering if it would be helpful to add a "Data Tools" or "Useful Resources" section to the README, listing open-source tools that TacQuad users might find helpful for data inspection and annotation? I think this could benefit the community, especially for researchers who want to extend TacQuad with new sensors or perform quality checks on their annotations.

Happy to contribute a PR if the maintainers think this would be useful. Thanks again for the excellent work!
