  • Head-mounted POV
  • Real shifts, real rooms
  • Consent-first

Egocentric video of real work, for embodied AI

We record first-person footage of skilled hotel and hospitality work — housekeeping, kitchens, front desk, laundry — so robots and models can learn how hands actually get things done.

03Process

How we work

Consent and privacy are steps in the pipeline, not paperwork at the end.

  1. .01

    Written worker consent

    Before capture >

    Every person who wears a camera signs an informed consent form and can stop or withdraw.

  2. .02

    Venue agreement

    Before capture >

    The hotel, kitchen or property owner agrees to recording, scope and areas that stay off-limits.

  3. .03

    De-identify before storage

    On ingest >

    Faces and sensitive details (documents, screens, guest belongings) are blurred or removed before footage is stored.

  4. .04

    Quality control

    Review >

    Each clip is checked against your spec — framing, task coverage, continuity — before it's offered for acceptance.

  5. .05

    Pay for accepted footage

    Delivery >

    You review deliveries; billing is tied to the hours you accept, not hours recorded.

05Pilot

Start with a pilot

20–50hours
of accepted footage

A pilot is a small, scoped batch that lets you test the data in your own pipeline before committing to volume. We agree the environments, tasks and technical spec together, capture, run QA, and you decide what to accept.

06Trust

Privacy & consent

This describes our process. It isn't legal advice, and each project's terms are agreed in writing.

  • >

    Opt-in, in writing

    Workers sign informed consent before any recording, and can pause, stop or withdraw.

  • >

    Venue sign-off

    Recording happens only with the site's agreement, within agreed areas and hours.

  • >

    Guests are not the subject

    We avoid filming guests; any incidental people, faces or personal items are de-identified.

  • >

    De-identified before storage

    Faces and sensitive data — documents, screens, room numbers — are obscured before footage is stored or shared.

  • >

    Purpose-limited use

    Usage terms for each dataset are set out in the agreement with the buyer.

07Help

FAQ

What is egocentric video?

Footage recorded from the worker's own point of view, usually with a head-mounted camera. It shows hands, tools and objects the way the person doing the task sees them.

Who is this data for?

Teams training robot manipulation policies, world models, video-language models and other embodied AI systems that need examples of real, unscripted physical work.

Is the work staged?

No. We record people doing their actual jobs in working venues. Task lists can be agreed with you so coverage matches your needs.

What resolution and frame rate do you deliver?

Whatever your pipeline needs, within what the capture hardware supports. Video parameters, metadata fields and file structure are set per customer specification.

Do you provide annotations or camera pose?

Raw video is the core deliverable. Camera pose and annotation can be added on request, scoped to your taxonomy.

How do you handle consent and privacy?

Written consent from every worker, agreement from every venue, and de-identification of faces and sensitive details before footage is stored. See the Privacy & consent section above.

How does pricing work?

Pricing depends on environments, spec and volume, and is quoted per project. Billing is tied to accepted footage. Book a call and we'll scope it with you.

How big is a pilot?

Typically 20–50 hours of accepted footage — enough to test in your pipeline before scaling.
