About the Project
We're looking for contributors to join a short-term remote project that helps train next-generation AI vision systems.
In this project, you'll record first-person (egocentric) videos of your everyday activities using your smartphone. Your recordings will help AI better understand how people naturally interact with objects and navigate real-world environments from a human perspective.
The best part? No special activities are required. Simply record your normal daily routine while following the project guidelines.
If you're comfortable being recorded from a first-person perspective, detail-oriented, and available to commit a few hours each day, we'd love to hear from you.

- Record first-person (egocentric) videos using your smartphone.
- Capture a variety of everyday household and residential activities following the project guidelines.

- Stay in communication with the Project Manager via Discord.
- Complete the assigned daily recording targets throughout the project period.
