Video Recording Participant – Household AI Project

About the Project

TSMG is looking for participants to support a household AI video data collection project.

Participants will complete a series of everyday household activities in a realistic home environment while being recorded using client-provided equipment. The collected videos will help improve artificial intelligence systems that understand human activities and interactions in home settings.

What You Will Do

• Complete a series of common household tasks following simple instructions.
• Perform activities naturally and at a comfortable pace.
• Participate in a single in-person recording session lasting approximately 2–3 hours.

• Preparing a simple meal using household kitchen appliances.
• Making coffee or tea.
• Eating while watching television.
• Cleaning the kitchen and taking out the trash.
• Working on a laptop or phone.
• Writing notes by hand.
• Folding and ironing laundry.
• Watering plants.

• Must be available to attend a single in-person recording session in Santa Clara Valley, California.
• Must be comfortable being recorded on video throughout the session.

Additional Information

• Recording equipment will be provided by the client.
• Participants will be asked to sign an informed consent form before the session.
• Sessions will take place in a professionally prepared home-like environment (not in participants' own homes).
• All recordings will be used exclusively for artificial intelligence research and development purposes.
