rate as listed

Workload: ~15h/week
Engagement: Project-based
Location: JP
Field: Generalist

Record specification-compliant videos of household tasks from your home in Japan while using wearable hand-tracking and recording equipment. Reviewers assess submitted data, and you will adjust your setup and technique in response to feedback.

The work

You will record demonstrations of everyday household tasks in a fully equipped Japanese home. The project uses a UMI gripper and wearable equipment, including a VR headset and hand-tracking gloves, to capture visual demonstrations and hand movements. Day-to-day work includes setting up the equipment, following task-specific recording instructions, checking lighting and framing, performing precise household actions, uploading large video files, and revising your approach after reviewer feedback.

What the platform screens for

The screening is likely to focus on whether you can describe times you followed detailed specifications, diagnosed quality problems, and improved work after concrete feedback. Expect follow-up questions about your recording environment, internet connection, manual precision, comfort with prolonged VR headset use, and ability to maintain consistent output. Prior data collection or usability-study experience is preferred, but not required.

Logistics

This is a remote contractor role for candidates based in Japan. The recording equipment is shipped at no cost, with setup and usage instructions provided during onboarding. Work is task-based, and payment depends on submitted data being approved against project specifications. No fixed weekly hours or daily schedule are disclosed, but the role requires a consistent weekly workflow and expects selected candidates to begin tasks within approximately 24 hours after onboarding.

Interview prep — 10 questions

Matched to what this platform's screening actually measures. Answer each out loud in 60–90 seconds: claim → concrete example → implication.

What it tests: This tests whether you can identify concrete specifications, explain how compliance was verified, and distinguish accepted output from merely completed output.
A strong answer: Use one verifiable example and name the instructions, your checking process, the acceptance criteria, and the result. Include any correction you made before or after review.
Where people lose it: Candidates lose points by claiming they are detail-oriented without identifying a specification, quality check, or measurable acceptance outcome.
