First-person interaction
Egocentric video of hand actions, everyday tasks and object manipulation, with client-approved devices and task instructions.
TMA / AI DATA SERVICES / NAIROBI
Real-world data.
Real human context.
Project-defined human data collection for computer vision, multimodal AI and embodied systems. From participant recruitment and controlled capture to pilot execution and quality review.
Collection engagements are scoped individually. Equipment, protocols and quality requirements are agreed before work begins.
FIELD / STUDIO / HUMAN INTERACTION
THE COLLECTION PARTNER
Built around your specification, not a generic dataset.
TMA coordinates people, schedules, environments and capture workflows in Nairobi and suitable project locations. A collection is designed around your approved instructions, device requirements, metadata and acceptance criteria.
We focus on practical operational delivery, with a pilot phase used to check whether the proposed workflow meets the project's technical and human requirements.
COLLECTION CAPABILITIES
Purpose-built capture, across environments.
Capabilities are assessed against each project's equipment, participant and quality requirements.
Human movement and pose
Repeatable gestures, positions, transitions and locomotion for structured image and video capture.
Lifestyle and activity scenes
People, objects and natural settings recorded to defined composition, context and metadata requirements.
Single- and multi-person tasks
Paired movements, handoffs, coordinated activities and controlled interaction sequences.
Studio capture
Consistent lighting, backgrounds, framing and repeatable sessions where controlled environments are important.
Client-defined protocols
Feasibility assessment and pilot planning around your SOP, device, naming conventions and acceptance standards.
PROJECT OPERATIONS
The work behind each accepted capture.
Projects can require far more than a camera and a participant. TMA can coordinate the operational layers specified in the agreed scope.
- Recruitment and schedulingParticipant sourcing, sessions, call times and replacements
- Protocol executionInstructions, capture setup and repeatable task delivery
- Consent and participant handlingProject-specific permissions, releases and welfare arrangements
- Metadata and file structureConsistent naming, manifests and project-required capture information
- Quality review and re-captureChecks and correction loops agreed within the project scope
HOW WE WORK
Validate the pilot. Then consider scale.
Brief & feasibility
Agree dataset type, participant requirements, formats, consent, devices and timeline.
Pilot design
Define instructions, acceptance checks, sample volume and collection logistics.
Capture & review
Execute the agreed test batch, review results and refine where needed.
Delivery & expansion
Organize accepted assets and evaluate the next phase against agreed criteria.
QUALITY & RESPONSIBILITY
Clarity before collection.
Project agreements should establish intended data use, lawful participant consent, applicable privacy obligations, secure transfer requirements, retention, quality thresholds and permitted re-capture.
TMA does not claim external security certifications or guarantee every device or workflow before feasibility assessment.
COMMERCIAL APPROACH
Every scope has its own economics.
Pricing depends on approved deliverables, people, equipment, locations, timeline, file formats and quality criteria. Projects may be priced by asset, participant, capture time, batch or milestone.
Share a specification for a realistic pilot discussion rather than relying on a generic public rate.
