Frequently Asked Questions About AI Development Company Services

Answers to help you choose the right AI development services, ready-made apps, and scalable solutions for your business.

On-demand data collection is the process of capturing new, purpose-built training data for a specific AI model rather than licensing an existing dataset. You define the activity, environment, participant profile, and volume; the vendor recruits people, deploys the recording rigs, runs capture, and delivers annotated data with consent and licensing on file. Teams choose it when the footage their model needs doesn't exist in any public or off-the-shelf dataset.

Off-the-shelf datasets are already recorded and ready to license today. Custom collection is recorded to your spec and typically takes two to three weeks before the first batch arrives. Off-the-shelf is faster and cheaper; custom gives you the exact activities, edge cases, demographics, and camera angles your model is failing on — and usually an exclusive licence. Most teams start with samples to validate quality, then commission a custom run.

The first batch usually arrives in two to three weeks. Scoping takes two to three days, participant recruitment and consent one to two weeks, and a pilot capture three to five days. Full capture then scales with volume — a 500-hour egocentric video collection typically completes in six to eight weeks, while 2,000+ hours run in parallel across multiple sites and countries.

Cost is quoted per hour of usable, QA-passed data and depends on four variables: the complexity of the activity, the environment (a hospital ward costs more to access than a home kitchen), the sensor stack, and the annotation depth. Raw footage is cheapest; segmentation and pose labelling sit at the top. We quote a fixed per-hour rate at the scoping stage so volume doesn't produce surprises later.

Egocentric video is footage recorded from a person's own viewpoint using a head-, chest-, or wrist-mounted camera, so the hands and the manipulated objects stay in frame. It teaches models hand-object interaction, task sequencing, and intent — signals that fixed cameras miss. It's the primary training modality for robot manipulation policies, embodied AI agents, and assistive smart-glasses applications.
