You record yourself performing household activities on a smartphone from a first-person perspective to create AI training video datasets.
What you would do
- Film daily household tasks wearing a hands-free phone headstrap from a first-person viewpoint
- Execute specific prescribed movements and activities as directed while maintaining consistent video quality
- Ensure stable camera framing and proper audio-visual synchronization throughout each recording session
- Submit completed video footage that complies with project length, format, and quality benchmarks
Who they want
- Compatible smartphone such as iPhone 12 or newer, Google Pixel 6-9, or Samsung Galaxy S21 or newer
- Comfortable using a hands-free phone headstrap for extended first-person video recording
- US resident based in specified states with legal eligibility to work in the United States
- Physical capability to safely perform repetitive household movements and maintain proper form
- Attention to detail and commitment to following project guidelines and submission standards
Main skills
What the interview asks about
1.Hands-free video framing
AI training datasets require consistent camera angles and stable footage; poor framing or camera bounce degrades data quality and wastes collection resources.
For example: “While wearing the headstrap and performing a reaching motion, how would you position yourself to ensure the target object remains centered in frame without bobbing or tilting?”
2.Physical task consistency
Repetitive movements must be performed identically across sessions so AI systems learn from predictable, standardized inputs rather than variable movement patterns.
For example: “You're asked to film yourself performing the same picking motion 15 times in one session. Describe how you'd maintain consistent speed, height, and arm angle across all repetitions.”
3.Device technical management
Recording failures, connectivity drops, or compatibility issues result in unusable footage and lost compensation; troubleshooting quickly minimizes data loss.
For example: “You start a 30-minute recording session and notice the video file is pixelated and choppy after 10 minutes. What steps would you take to diagnose whether it's a device storage issue, app crash, or network problem?”
4.Guideline compliance
Projects specify exact timing, framing rules, and submission formats; submissions failing to meet criteria may be rejected without payment or require re-recording.
For example: “The project brief specifies videos must be exactly 2 minutes long, filmed indoors with natural light, and show the full task from start to finish. Your first take is 2 minutes 45 seconds. Would you trim it or re-record, and why?”
5.Physical safety awareness
Repetitive strain, falls, or form breakdown during filming can cause injury, reducing your availability and affecting data collection consistency.
For example: “After four one-hour sessions recording reaching motions, your shoulder starts aching. How would you assess whether to continue recording or take a break, and what adjustments might prevent strain on future days?”
A task you may get
Record a 90-second sample video performing a simple household task in first-person perspective using a phone headstrap, then review it for framing stability, task clarity, and technical quality.
How to prepare
- Test your smartphone's video recording app in good lighting and verify storage space, battery life, and connectivity before your first session
- Practice putting on and adjusting the phone headstrap until you can position it securely without adjusting it mid-recording
- Identify a clear household space with consistent lighting and minimal background distractions where you'll record most sessions
- Review any sample videos or project guidelines provided to understand the exact framing, task execution, and video format requirements
