About AI Training and Data Collection

AI systems learn from real-world examples prepared and reviewed by people. In this role, your first-person video and smartphone motion data will help AI and robotics systems understand human movement, making your careful recordings part of the human work behind modern technology.

  • Support AI and robotics development with real-world movement data
  • Work remotely with a smartphone and head-mounted phone holder
  • Choose a flexible part-time workload of fewer than 20 hours per week

The Role

OpenTrain is hiring an at-home smartphone motion video contributor to complete assigned physical activities while recording first-person video and synchronized smartphone IMU sensor data. You will use a phone mounted on a head strap, follow collection standards, and deliver consistent, high-quality recordings.

This is an entry-level individual contractor opportunity performed remotely from eligible U.S. states. Compensation is $10 to $15 per hour, with work available for fewer than 20 hours per week.

  • Employment type: Independent contractor and part time
  • Experience level: Entry level
  • Pay: $10 to $15 per hour
  • Work arrangement: Remote, at home
  • Data type: Video and smartphone IMU sensor data

What You'll Do

You will perform specified physical movements and capture synchronized video and motion-sensor data from a first-person perspective. Reliable execution, careful documentation, and consistent adherence to technical protocols are essential to producing useful AI training data.

  • Record first-person video with a smartphone mounted on a head strap
  • Keep both hands visible in the video while completing assigned activities
  • Capture accurate motion data through the phone's IMU sensors
  • Keep video recordings and sensor data synchronized
  • Follow protocols for data quality, labeling, standardization, and delivery
  • Document observations and communicate clearly about questions
  • Complete established project deliverables reliably
  • Perform repetitive movement activities safely

Requirements

You must have the equipment needed to record stable first-person video while preserving visibility of both hands. Familiarity with mobile video and sensor-data capture, close attention to detail, and the ability to follow standardized procedures are required.

  • iPhone 12 or later, Google Pixel 6 or later, or Samsung Galaxy S21 or later
  • Head strap capable of securely holding the phone while keeping both hands visible
  • Ability to capture synchronized first-person video and smartphone IMU sensor data
  • Comfort using mobile devices for video and sensor-data collection
  • Strong attention to detail and consistent protocol adherence
  • Clear written and verbal communication
  • Reliable delivery habits
  • Physical ability to complete repetitive movements safely

Helpful Background

Previous AI experience is not required if you can follow instructions and produce high-quality data. Background in movement, robotics, sensor collection, or dataset organization can help you succeed, but this is an entry-level opportunity.

  • Robotics experience or training
  • Kinesiology or human movement analysis
  • Sensor-based data collection
  • Activity segmentation
  • Machine-learning dataset labeling
  • Organizing large datasets for AI and robotics applications
