About AI Training and Data Collection

AI training is the human side of building artificial intelligence. People collect and prepare examples, including videos of real-world activities, so AI systems can learn how objects, movements, and environments work.

• Work on a practical AI training project involving video data
• Contribute from home with a smartphone or camera
• No prior experience is required for this entry-level project

The Role

We are collecting videos of people folding T-shirts to train an AI model. You will record a continuous first-person video of yourself folding at least 120 T-shirts in approximately 30 minutes, following the required camera setup, spoken instructions, and folding sequence precisely.

The video may contain multiple cuts, but you must upload only the compiled version to YouTube. A sample video is provided in the project materials for reference.

• Role type: Data collection and video collection
• Experience level: Entry level
• Time requirement: Less than 20 hours per week
• Language: English
• Compensation: $80 fixed price
• Engagement: Part-time contractor

What You'll Do

Record yourself from an egocentric, first-person perspective while continuously folding T-shirts on a flat surface. Another person must hold the phone at your eye level behind you, with the bottom of the phone touching your forehead.

Use the exact required folding and audio sequence for every T-shirt. Start with a crumpled T-shirt and say only “ONE,” flatten it on its back and say only “TWO,” then say only “THREE,” “FOUR,” and “FIVE” as you complete each fold. After finishing, say only “SIX,” then hit the table to make a loud sound.

• Record at least 120 foldings in a 30-minute video
• Fold continuously without taking breaks between foldings
• Keep your hands clearly visible throughout the video
• Use only short-sleeved T-shirts
• Use different T-shirts with varied colors and materials
• Film in a well-lit setting with high-quality video and sound
• Use a flat surface for the entire folding task
• Upload the compiled video to YouTube

You may use any smartphone or camera, but you must have a smartphone with a camera and be able to film from a first-person view. Set the recording quality to HD, preferably at 30 FPS and 0.5x zoom when available.
