Explore a unique research initiative as we invite musicians to participate in the Common Lives Project.
As part of this project, you and a fellow musician will wear GoPros during your collaborative practice or recording sessions. Your footage will be used to power future AI models that understand complex, real-world activities.
Key Responsibilities:
* Day-to-Day Recording
o Capture daily activities for 5 separate days within a 2-week window using a head-mounted GoPro camera.
o Record a minimum of 7 hours per day, with flexibility to take breaks and pause the camera for privacy.
* Data Review and Upload
o Upload your footage to a secure platform at the end of each day.
o Review short clips and choose to delete, anonymize, or consent to each video segment.
Requirements:
* No children (under 18) present or visiting during the recording period.
* All adults in the space must be fluent English speakers and consent to being recorded.
* Must live in a private, self-contained apartment, building, or indoor work environment.
* All household members must agree to appear in the footage.
Participant Qualifications:
* Must work indoors in non-customer-facing roles (e.g., not retail or child care).
* Participants who share the same workplace or household should both have a GoPro mounted during the activity.
* Preferably engaged in manual or creative work (e.g., chef, baker, artist, carpenter, musician, electrician, mechanic).
* Must be self-employed or have employer consent to record in the work environment.
* Able to use a computer for basic tasks such as reviewing and uploading video clips.
Technical Requirements:
