United States collector role
Hand-Object Interaction Video Collector Jobs in United States
TrueLabel accepts United States-based hand-object interaction collector applicants for evergreen physical AI data collection opportunities. Briefs are provided in English only.
Overview
Hand-object interaction collection focuses tightly on manipulation: the grasp, the move, and the release. The object must stay in frame through the whole contact cycle, and the moment of grasp must be visible, not occluded by your hand or the camera angle. You shoot close, often from above, and submit raw clips. Only accepted footage is paid. In United States, this work is filmed in home kitchens and dining rooms, garages and home workshops, desk and home-office setups, and apartment and house living areas.
Applicants in United States should be ready to share device details, mount options, language, safe recording space, and availability before completing a short qualification sample. The U.S. spans multiple zones; you confirm your local time during onboarding and each brief shows its review window accordingly.

What this opportunity involves
What a hand-object interaction collector records in United States
In United States, a hand-object interaction collector films clear manipulation footage showing hands, objects, surfaces, and completed states in settings such as home kitchens and dining rooms, garages and home workshops, desk and home-office setups, and apartment and house living areas. U.S. briefs run across multiple metros nationwide rather than a single region, with review windows set in your local time zone. Strong submissions show setup, task motion, object state changes, and completion clearly enough for the TrueLabel collector QA team to review.
Core responsibilities for hand-object interaction collectors in United States
This role is defined by a specific set of capture habits: keep both hands and the manipulated object inside frame for the full grasp-move-release cycle, position the camera so the moment of contact and grasp is never occluded, show the object's start position and its settled end position clearly, and capture clean, repeatable manipulations rather than rushed or partial motions. Each is checked during review, so practising them before you submit keeps your acceptance rate high. In United States, you apply these habits in home kitchens and dining rooms, garages and home workshops, desk and home-office setups, and apartment and house living areas.
What gets accepted versus reshot in United States
Footage is accepted when the grasp, move, and release are all visible without occlusion, the object stays in frame from first contact through final placement, and start and completed states of the manipulation are both clear. It is sent back or rejected when the grasp moment is hidden by the hand, body, or frame edge, the object leaves frame during the move or settles off-screen, and motion blur obscures the contact point between hand and object. Accepted United States work pays $18-$24 per approved hour of usable footage, reviewed by the TrueLabel collector QA team usually within 2 business days of upload. Payouts settle in USD by ACH direct deposit to your U.S. bank account; you complete W-9 tax onboarding and add your account during setup, then accepted work is paid through the twice-weekly queue.
How TrueLabel matches hand-object interaction collectors in United States
For a hand-object interaction collector, the setup that matters most is concrete: shoot close at 1080p/30fps minimum, often from an overhead or angled mount, so the contact point stays sharp and unoccluded through the full cycle. A passing sample proves you can keep the object in frame through grasp, move, and release with the contact moment fully visible. Your profile should also list location, language, available mounts, recording environment, and weekly availability so TrueLabel can match you to eligible work. Briefs are provided in English only. The U.S. spans multiple zones; you confirm your local time during onboarding and each brief shows its review window accordingly.
What makes a submission review-ready in United States
The single most common rejection is an occluded grasp where the hand or angle hides the moment of contact. Beyond that single failure, a review-ready hand-object interaction collector clip keeps the task visible from start to finish, follows the brief, avoids private information, and arrives as a raw upload. Test your framing on a short clip before recording the real take. In United States that review happens against home kitchens and dining rooms, garages and home workshops, desk and home-office setups, and apartment and house living areas, with the TrueLabel collector QA team returning outcomes usually within 2 business days of upload.
