Before we begin.
The practical details.

Yes. You can request private access to a selection of 24 egocentric clips from residential and commercial environments. The selection contains raw footage, without annotations or accompanying metadata. Our team reviews requests and follows up by email.

Each Norda program starts with your learning objective, required tasks, and target environments. We organize contributors, site access, and capture equipment around that specification. Our collection experience initially focused on residential egocentric activity, with commercial collection expanding through company partnerships (12 site access and collection agreements with mid-to-large businesses, and growing).

We are aligning our equipment around a baseline of Full HD video (1920 × 1080 pixels) at 30 frames per second, with camera positioning that keeps the relevant hands, tools and interactions clearly visible throughout the task. Moreover, the exact equipment is selected around the required viewpoint, visibility, image quality, and operating environment. Additional sensors, calibration, and synchronization requirements can be assessed and validated for the specific program.

The delivery specification is agreed before collection: required footage, file organization, technical parameters, and any accompanying annotations or additional outputs. If your workflow requires particular labels, metadata, or a dataset format, we assess those requirements during scoping.

Our current collection workflow includes daily footage review and feedback to contributors. Checks follow the task requirements, including whether relevant hands, objects, and actions are visible and whether the capture protocol was followed. We use corrective feedback and targeted recollection where needed. Acceptance criteria and the treatment of nonconforming recordings are agreed for each program.

Yes. We start with a focused pilot to validate the capture setup and resulting data against your requirements before scaling. Scope, pricing, and timing depend on task complexity, site access, contributor requirements, equipment, volume, and any annotation or additional processing. Pilot deliverables and the criteria for progressing to recurring collection are agreed upfront.

We define site permissions, participant consent, and the customer’s permitted data use for each program. Our current client work operates under confidentiality and exclusivity arrangements. For a new engagement, licensing or ownership, exclusivity, and any restrictions on reuse can be agreed on a case by case scenario. Confidential client footage and specifications are not available as public examples.

Transfer arrangements, authorized access, and retention requirements are defined for each program. Our operating experience includes cloud-based delivery, with retention requirements set according to the client engagement. Any specific hosting, access-control, or deletion requirements should be included during scoping so we can confirm the appropriate setup.

The 65,000+ delivered hours and 300+ contributors reflect prior collection programs delivered by members of Norda’s current operating network. The 68,000+ employee figure describes potential reach through current company relationships. New programs may still require their own task fit, site arrangements, and participant onboarding which is outside of our current site sourcing perimeter.

Potentially yes. We assess workplaces against the tasks and environments required by a client’s data program. Relevant considerations include the activities performed, geography, access permissions, willing participants, safety requirements, and whether suitable footage can be captured.

The recording scope should be agreed before collection, including permitted tasks, locations, participants, and times. Restrictions involving confidential processes, screens, documents, customers, or other people need to be identified during planning with our legal department. Site permission and participant arrangements are addressed separately, so it’s important to note that company access alone does not automatically authorize every recording.

Norda coordinates the collection program, including the capture setup, contributor instructions, and quality review. The project plan defines who provides equipment, who supports participants on site, and how footage is transferred. We agree to those responsibilities with the partner before collection begins to align expectations and avoid work disruptions.

We plan collections around the agreed workflows and the site’s operating constraints. A focused pilot helps establish equipment suitability, participant effort, scheduling, and any disruption before a wider rollout. Safety requirements and restricted activities are part of that assessment, as the collection scope must always fit the specific working environment.

Partner compensation, participant payments where applicable, responsibilities, and collection commitments are agreed for each program. The intended use of the recordings, including robotics or AI training, and any restrictions on sharing or reuse also need to be defined. Participation alone does not imply permission to publish your company’s identity or footage in marketing material.
