What the work actually is

This is data collection, not content creation. Robotics and multimodal AI teams need large volumes of egocentric (first-person) footage of humans doing mundane physical tasks — folding laundry, washing dishes, chopping vegetables, wiping counters, sorting groceries. You mount your phone on a head strap, start recording, and do the chore at a normal pace. The value is in the ordinariness: natural hand movements, real clutter, real kitchens.

Day to day you will pick tasks from a list of prompts, record clips of a specified length, check the footage for obvious problems (a hand out of frame, a dark room, a wobbling mount), and upload. Submissions are reviewed against project guidelines, and you are paid per hour of accepted recorded video — footage rejected for framing, blur, missing task steps, or captured faces of other people generally does not count. The practical skill here is repeatability: producing hour after hour of usable, consistent footage without drifting from the spec.

What the platform screens for

  • Device eligibility, verified. iPhone 12 or later, Google Pixel 6–9, or Samsung Galaxy S21 or later. There is a compatibility check during onboarding; older or off-list handsets fail it.
  • Location and work eligibility in one of the listed LATAM and Caribbean countries: Argentina, Bahamas, Barbados, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Mexico, Panama, Uruguay.
  • Physical comfort with a head-mounted phone and repetitive movement for sustained stretches, done safely.
  • Guideline literacy — whether you can read a recording spec and follow it exactly, and whether you will re-shoot rather than submit borderline footage.
  • An AI-enabled interview during onboarding, which is a short structured conversation, not a technical exam.

Logistics

Fully remote and asynchronous — you record on your own schedule, in your own home. Your actual start depends on head strap shipping time; you buy or source the strap yourself and micro1 reimburses $20 as a combined signing bonus and strap reimbursement after you complete 20 hours. Storage and upload bandwidth matter: raw video is large, and slow uploads are the most common practical bottleneck. Expect a stated rate of about $6/hr of accepted footage; rates on collection projects vary by batch and are observed, not guaranteed.
