Describe what you actually retain
An egocentric dataset records an activity from the participant’s point of view. A useful sourcing brief goes beyond hours of footage: it defines the task, camera position, visible interactions, and conditions the model must learn to handle. Data Egocentric is a Fiund sourcing site for teams exploring this category. If you hold relevant material, explain its origin, approximate size, date coverage, and original file types. Distinguish an estimate from a reconciled inventory.
Explain the source characteristics
Viewpoint: Head-mounted, chest-mounted, or another participant-centered view; describe acceptable camera movement.; Task coverage: Action list, sequence length, successful and unsuccessful attempts, and variation between participants.; Capture details: Resolution, frame rate, field of view, audio policy, and any requirements for time alignment.; Annotation: Action boundaries, object references, task descriptions, and the level of detail needed for evaluation. List missing information instead of inferring details that have not been checked.
Identify the permission questions
Describe who produced the material, which other contributors or components may be involved, and what uses have previously been agreed. Possession of files alone does not resolve permission or confidentiality questions. Sensitive records and agreements should be handled through an appropriate review process.
Begin with an email, before a transfer
Send a high-level description to jaeden@fiund.com. Do not attach an archive or sensitive participant material to the first message. Any later access, review, preparation, and commercial scope must be agreed for the specific project; an inquiry does not promise a buyer, acceptance, or earnings.
Include in your inquiry
- Tasks and environments
- Camera placement and visibility
- Target hours or sequences
- Annotations and intended model use
- Rights requirements and timeline
