About AI Training and Motion Data

AI training is the human work behind modern artificial intelligence. Contributors collect, prepare, label, and review examples that help AI systems understand the world. In this project, your first-person smartphone videos and motion sensor data will support the development of AI models that learn from physical activity.

• Human-collected examples help improve how AI models learn
• The work combines mobile technology, video capture, and standardized data collection
• No prior AI experience is required

The Role

OpenTrain AI is recruiting Smartphone Video Recorders to collect motion data for AI training. You will use your own compatible smartphone and a head strap to record specified physical activities from a first-person perspective while capturing sensor data through the device's IMU sensors.

This is an entry-level, part-time contractor role with a payment rate of $6 per hour. You will be expected to deliver 10 to 15 hours of approved video each week, within a total time requirement of less than 20 hours per week.

• Employment type: Contractor and part time
• Experience level: Entry level
• Rate: $6 USD per hour
• Weekly delivery target: 10 to 15 hours of approved video
• Working language: English
• Eligible locations: Argentina, Bahamas, Barbados, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Mexico, Panama, and Uruguay

What You'll Do

You will follow detailed technical protocols to produce consistent, high-quality footage and motion data. Careful execution matters because standardized recordings give AI researchers reliable examples for training and evaluation.

• Record specified physical activities using your smartphone's IMU sensors
• Wear a head strap to mount the phone securely and capture first-person video showing both hands
• Follow instructions for recording quality, labeling, and standardization
• Deliver 10 to 15 hours of approved video each week
• Communicate proactively with the team to clarify instructions and share observations
• Complete a device compatibility check during onboarding
• Participate in an AI-assisted interview during onboarding

Requirements

You should be comfortable recording video with a mobile device, following standardized protocols, and performing repetitive movement activities safely. The project requires dependable weekly deliveries and clear communication in a remote setting.

• iPhone 12 or newer, Google Pixel 6 or newer, or Samsung Galaxy S21 or newer
• A head strap that can securely mount your phone
• Excellent attention to detail
• Ability to follow standardized instructions consistently
• Ability to manage weekly deliveries and meet deadlines
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Physical fitness to safely perform repetitive movement tasks
• Comfort using mobile devices for video and sensor capture
