Democratizing access to data collection tooling
We give any organization the infrastructure to collect first-person video from their workforce — and the tooling to clean, structure, and sell that data to AI labs.
The platform
Two products. One pipeline.
From collection to monetization, we handle the full egocentric data lifecycle.
Data collection
The Workforce Recording App
Deploy our app to any workforce in minutes. Workers record their day through a head-mounted or mobile camera — no technical setup required. You control what gets captured, when, and by whom.
- Mobile-first, works on any device
- Configurable recording schedules & triggers
- Role-based access and worker consent flows
- Scales from 10 to 10,000+ contributors
- Send direct feedback to recorders through the app — flag issues, request retakes, coach in real time
- On-device model ensures hands never leave frame, catching bad recordings before they're uploaded
Data preparation
Lab-Ready Data Tooling
Raw footage is worthless without structure. Our tooling pipeline automatically cleans, annotates, and packages your egocentric dataset into the formats AI labs actually want to buy.
- Automated clip segmentation & quality filtering
- Activity labeling and metadata tagging
- Export to standard lab-ready formats
- Pricing guidance based on real market demand
Hardware
Local supply chain.
Built for long shifts.
Our phone mounts are produced domestically at scale — up to 100,000 units per month at under $0.50 per unit. Designed for all-day comfort so workers can run a full 16-hour shift without fatigue.
Annotation suite
The most comprehensive annotations on the planet
Battle-tested by egocentric data companies selling to every major AI lab. Don't let processing and quality bottlenecks hold back your operational capacity.
Egocentric Keypoints
Best-in-class body and hand keypoint detection optimized for first-person perspective — hands near camera, occluded joints, and fast motion all handled.
Exocentric Keypoints
Full-body pose estimation from third-person and overhead angles, compatible with standard skeleton formats used by robotics and embodied AI labs.
Failure & Recovery Segmentation
Automatically detect and label task failure events and recovery sequences — one of the most requested and hardest-to-produce annotation types for robot learning.
Activity & Action Segmentation
Temporal segmentation of discrete actions and task steps with fine-grained verb-object labels, ready for action recognition and imitation learning pipelines.
Depth & 3D Scene Data
Depth estimation and 3D point cloud annotations derived from your footage — no LiDAR required. Plug and play with your own GPUs for faster throughput.
MCAP & Lab Delivery Formats
One-click export to MCAP, HDF5, and other common lab acceptance formats. Stop losing deals over delivery friction — your data arrives ready to ingest.
Unlimited pings to fine-tuned annotation models. Connect your own GPUs — plug and play. Differentiate from your data competitors with annotations your buyers can't get anywhere else.
Beyond video
Collect voice and human emotion data through the same app
The app isn't just for video. Use the same infrastructure to run standalone voice and human emotion data collection campaigns across your workforce.
Voice Datasets
Deploy the app to collect spoken audio from your workforce — real people, real environments, real domain-specific language. Whether it's mechanics, nurses, or chefs, you get natural speech data that labs can't easily source anywhere else.
- Natural speech in real work environments
- Domain-specific vocabulary & accents
- Speaker-diverse across 16+ industries
- Stored, structured, and ready to sell
Human Emotion Data
Use the same app to run structured emotion data collection — prompts, responses, and self-reported states captured from real people in their everyday context. Authentic emotional data is one of the hardest datasets to collect at scale.
- Structured prompts delivered through the app
- Self-reported emotional states & responses
- Authentic, in-context — not a lab setting
- Across diverse demographics & roles
Why it matters
Egocentric data is the hardest dataset to collect — and the most valuable
First-person video captures what no other data source can: how real people use their hands, navigate physical environments, and interact with the world in real time. This is the training data that powers embodied AI, robotics, prosthetics, and the next generation of assistive technology.
Until now, only well-funded research institutions could afford to build this kind of dataset. We're changing that — giving every business the same infrastructure to participate in the AI data economy.
