Interactive Data Collector

We are recruiting participants for a paid project recording short, real-time English conversations built around what one person is showing on camera. You will be paired with another participant. One of you films everyday objects and tasks with a phone from your own point of view. The other watches the live view remotely and guides you by voice.

Your participation will include:

• Completing a batch of short paired recordings with an assigned partner, about 1.5 minutes each plus setup time
• Working in one of two roles:
• the camera user, who films objects and actions from a first-person view
• the guide, who watches the live video from a different location and responds by voice
• Setting up simple everyday scenes using items you already have
• Attending a short online onboarding before recording begins
• Attending paired sessions scheduled in advance

You must:

• Be 18 years or older
• Be a native English speaker
• Be comfortable having your voice recorded, and having your hands and surroundings recorded on video (your face does not appear)
• Have a smartphone with a working camera
• Use headphones or earphones during all recording sessions
• Have a stable internet connection
• Record from a quiet indoor space with no TV, music, or other people in the background
• Keep other people, personal documents, and private screen content out of the camera view
