Common questions

The essentials in plain English.

How much will I earn ?

Payment depends on mission type, length, and quality. Exact rates are shared in the contributor brief sent after signup. Only validated submissions are paid, and we explain our quality standards clearly in the brief so you know exactly what to deliver.

What do I need to start ?

A recent smartphone, GoPro, or smart glasses with good camera quality. We accept most egocentric recording equipment. No prior experience needed.

Who sees my videos ?

Only the EgoVista annotation pipeline and the specific robotics lab or company that commissions the dataset. Videos are never published publicly. Faces and third parties are automatically blurred before any processing.

What if my clips aren’t selected ?

Every submission goes through a quality check before payment. This typically takes up to 7 days. Validated clips are paid by bank transfer within 14 days of validation. If a clip is rejected, we explain why and you can resubmit. Rejected clips are not retained or used.

Is this legal ? How am I paid ?

You’re paid as a service provider via bank transfer (SEPA). We provide a simple invoice template. You’re responsible for declaring this income according to your country’s rules. For French students under €77,700/year, the auto-entrepreneur status is the simplest option.

Can I stop anytime ?

Yes. There’s no contract commitment. You accept or decline each mission individually. You can leave the network at any time by emailing us.
