Onsite Data Collection Project

About the role

You will join a live, in-person project where your presence and actions directly shape the evaluation of next-generation smart devices. This role focuses on participating in scheduled sessions that involve everyday movements and activities while guided by a trained moderator. You will help collect real-world interaction data that informs how technology adapts to human behavior in home and public settings. The position is designed for individuals who can follow clear, simple instructions and contribute honest, natural responses during each visit. You are not responsible for technical setup or analysis, only for engaging in the activities as directed. Your feedback will help refine user experiences and device responsiveness for future technology releases. This is a freelance opportunity where your time and participation are compensated for specific research objectives. By taking part, you support the development of technology that will affect how people interact with devices for years to come.
