A video recorder who captures synchronized motion and first-person video data using a smartphone and head strap.
What you would do
- Record first-person video while wearing a head-mounted smartphone that tracks motion via built-in sensors
- Execute prescribed physical activities and movement patterns exactly as specified in project guidelines
- Ensure video frames and sensor data remain synchronized throughout recording sessions
- Follow technical setup, positioning, and environmental requirements to guarantee data quality
- Deliver 10-15 hours of approved video weekly, meeting project durational and formatting specifications
Who they want
- Access to a compatible smartphone: iPhone 12+, Google Pixel 6+, or Samsung Galaxy S21+
- Head strap available within 48 hours of start date, capable of stable first-person recording
- Exceptional attention to detail and ability to replicate prescribed protocols consistently
- Comfort with repetitive physical movement tasks and ability to execute them safely
- Strong written and verbal communication for remote collaboration and technical issue clarification
Main skills
What the interview asks about
1.Sensor data quality and frame synchronization
Misaligned or dropped sensor readings make hours of video useless; recognizing sync problems early prevents wasted work.
For example: “During your first recording session, the video plays smoothly but you notice sensor readings drop for 20 seconds mid-activity. What do you check, and when would you flag this as unusable?”
2.Protocol precision and repetition
Data annotation jobs require exact replication across hundreds of sessions; deviation breaks consistency and invalidates comparisons.
For example: “The protocol specifies a 2-meter reach with arm extended at shoulder height, 10 repetitions per set. Describe how you'd set up the space and what you'd do if you miscount or lose your position.”
3.Weekly commitment and time management
Meeting 10+ hours of usable weekly output requires planning around recording quality, not just raw duration.
For example: “You've recorded 6 hours by Wednesday, but your last 3 videos failed quality review due to lighting issues. How would you adjust your schedule to hit the weekly target and still ensure approval?”
4.Device troubleshooting and spec confirmation
Using an incompatible phone or misconfigured sensors wastes time and produces unusable data.
For example: “You're getting ready to start, but your phone's IMU isn't reading consistently. Walk me through how you'd diagnose whether this is a settings issue, app problem, or hardware failure.”
A task you may get
Set up a mock recording session: mount a smartphone on a head strap, demonstrate correct positioning, explain how you'd verify sensor sync before recording, and perform a 30-second sample movement sequence following written protocol steps.
How to prepare
- Test your smartphone with the project's recording app before officially starting; confirm video and sensor alignment.
- Familiarize yourself with your device's sensor specs and settings to spot configuration issues early.
- Create a quiet, well-lit space and plan a weekly schedule that accommodates at least 12 hours of recording availability.
- Watch examples of head-mounted video recording from similar projects to understand standard framing and positioning.
