Next-Gen AI Perception & Spatial Training

Explore a flexible, remote contract opportunity that transforms normal daily routines into high-value video data for advanced machine learning models.

The evolution of artificial intelligence has moved rapidly from text generation to spatial awareness, computer vision, and physical reasoning. To navigate physical environments autonomously, modern AI agents must understand how humans interact with their physical surroundings. This requires immense amounts of clean, real-world visual training data capturing standard domestic activities from a true first-person perspective.

For independent professionals, creators, and tech enthusiasts across the United States seeking a flexible remote gig that integrates seamlessly into a daily routine, micro1 presents an engaging and accessible pathway: the At-Home Video Recorder (U.S.) contractor position. By documenting ordinary domestic tasks using specific smartphone hardware, participants directly contribute to the building blocks of human intelligence layers for frontier AI.

Unlocking the Project Scope: How Video Data Trains AI

Teaching an algorithm to recognize objects or replicate physical movements cannot be achieved through textbook simulations alone. Real-world domestic spaces contain unpredictable lighting, variable textures, and fluid human motions. When artificial intelligence models evaluate agent-based tasks, they rely on synchronization between visual data and physical coordination.

In this project, contractors record everyday household chores using a smartphone mounted in a wearable head strap configuration. Your first-person point-of-view (POV) recordings provide the neural network architectures with authentic training parameters, helping frontier models map physical environments, understand multi-step household workflows, and refine spatial reasoning.

Technical Requirements & Eligibility Checklist

Because data integrity and video synchronization are critical for AI labs, micro1 enforces strict hardware and location parameters for this initiative. To qualify, applicants must review the following operational criteria:

  • Geographic Eligibility: Must reside in an eligible U.S. state (including Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, New York, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming).
  • Smartphone Hardware: Must own a compatible device, specifically an iPhone 12 or later, Google Pixel 6 through 9, or a Samsung Galaxy S21 or later.
  • Wearable Equipment: Must be comfortable wearing specialized head strap equipment utilized for first-person recordings (hardware is coordinated following onboarding).
  • Physical Capability: Must possess the physical capability to safely perform routine repetitive movement tasks associated with standard household chores.
  • Verification Readiness: Selected candidates must complete an identity verification process within 48 hours of contact prior to formal contract issuance.

Detailed Workflow & Core Responsibilities

Participating in the At-Home Video Recorder project is structured to fit around flexible schedules while maintaining rigorous data quality controls. Key operational phases include:

  • Onboarding & Verification: Complete an initial device compatibility check and an AI-enabled interview, followed by rapid identity verification.
