Egocentric video data of skilled work, filmed in Nigeria.
Head-mounted, first-person footage of real tradespeople at work in their own shops: hands, tools and materials in view, from the first cut to the finished job. Recorded by ID-checked, consenting workers and reviewed minute by minute.
Free 10-hour sample first. A person replies within one working day.
Real trades, from the worker’s own eyes.
Long, uncut task sequences with lots of hand-object interaction, in the cluttered, natural settings where the work really happens.

Each shop is registered in person by a TrustAm field agent, with the owner’s consent and a location fence.
Live, on-the-job capture
A spoken challenge code, motion sensors and GPS show each clip was filmed live, at work. No camera-roll uploads.
A person reviews every minute
Automatic checks first, then a trained reviewer approves or cuts each minute. Contributors are paid only for approved minutes.
Buyers usually ask.
What is egocentric video data?
Egocentric (first-person) video is filmed from the point of view of the person doing the task, usually with a head-mounted camera, so the hands, tools and objects they handle stay in frame. It is used to train robotics, embodied-AI and video-understanding models on how people actually do physical work.
Which trades can you film?
Tailoring, auto repair, phone repair, welding, carpentry, cooking, hair braiding and market trading are set up now in Lagos. Other trades and settings can be scoped per order.
Can you use our stereo or multi-camera rig?
Yes. If you ship the hardware, we fit it, train contributors to wear it and run the same ID, consent and review checks. Otherwise we record on a head-mounted smartphone at 1080p30 with IMU and GPS.
How many hours can you deliver?
We are a Lagos pilot collecting to order and scaling. We start with a free sample of about 10 hours, then a paid pilot of 100 to 500 hours in weekly batches. We will not promise hours we have not recorded.
