Data-Video Generalist (US-based)

What you would do

• Record household chores and everyday tasks from first-person view using a smartphone mounted on a head strap
• Capture synchronized video footage while performing specified physical activities as directed
• Follow project guidelines for video content, task execution, and submission requirements
• Monitor video quality and ensure footage meets project specifications before submission
• Submit completed recorded video hours for hourly compensation based on accepted content

Who they want

• A compatible smartphone (iPhone 12+, Google Pixel 6-9, or Samsung Galaxy S21+)
• Located in a qualifying US state and eligible to work in the United States
• Comfortable wearing head-mounted phone recording equipment during task work
• Physically capable of safely performing repetitive household movements
• Able to follow detailed project guidelines and submit work that meets quality and content specifications

Main skills

What the interview asks about

1. 1.First-person video composition during motion

   Usable video requires keeping the frame steady and focused on task-relevant content while moving, which affects whether AI systems can actually learn from your footage.

   For example: “You are recording yourself washing dishes wearing a head strap. What positioning and camera angles would ensure the video captures hand movements and the task clearly without excessive camera shake?”

2. 2.Project guideline compliance

   Your compensation depends on submitting video that meets project specifications - understanding requirements before filming saves time and ensures payment.

   For example: “The project asks for 10-minute videos of specific household chores with clear task start and end points. Your first recording is 15 minutes and includes time setting up equipment. Should you resubmit, and why?”

3. 3.Equipment operation and troubleshooting

   Technical issues like incompatible devices, poor connectivity, or equipment malfunctions directly block your ability to work and earn.

   For example: “You pass the device compatibility check but during your first recording session, the phone overheats and the video stops. What immediate steps would you take to diagnose this?”

4. 4.Attention to video detail and focus

   AI systems need clear footage where tasks are visible and well-framed - poor focus, excessive movement, or off-target framing makes the video unsuitable for training regardless of task execution.

   For example: “Your video of vacuuming captures mostly wall and ceiling rather than the floor and vacuum. How would you adjust camera positioning for the next recording to make the task more visible?”

5. 5.Safety awareness during recording

   Recording while performing physical tasks creates unique hazards - managing equipment weight, cord placement, and visibility requires conscious attention to prevent accidents.

   For example: “The head strap with your phone weighs about 6 ounces and can obstruct your upper vision. What precautions would you take before recording a task involving stairs or water?”

A task you may get

Record 2-3 minutes of a household task (loading a dishwasher, wiping a counter, etc.) using your smartphone, simulating head-strap first-person recording. Describe what you would film to make the video most useful for robotics training.

How to prepare

• Test your smartphone's video recording quality and frame rate to ensure it meets modern standards
• Practice holding or positioning your phone to simulate first-person recording from a head perspective
• Review the project guidelines carefully and note the specific requirements for video length, task types, and content
• Identify household tasks you perform regularly that could be recorded according to project specifications
