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.
