About this project:
We're recruiting skilled craftsmen to participate in a research program aimed at improving AI understanding of manual labor.
The goal is to record and analyze daily activities, such as woodworking, building, or fabrication routines, using wearable cameras.
Selected participants will receive equipment and training on how to securely upload and review their footage.
* Responsibilities include wearing a head-mounted camera to capture daily activities for 5 separate days within a 2-week window.
* Record a minimum of 7 hours per day, with flexibility to take breaks and pause the camera for privacy.
* At the end of each day, spend around 2 hours to:
* Upload your footage to a secure platform.
