Curate published data
Find useful datasets across the internet, preserve their provenance, and respect each publisher’s access and usage terms.
Matha Labs / Models & datasets
We’re building a shared library for human activity intelligence: curated datasets, synthetic examples where data is missing, and paid contributions through HumanCapture. Start with the published sources in our directory below.

These are independently published datasets linked from their original sources. Matha Labs curates this directory; access and usage rights come from each publisher.
01 / Datasets & models
We’re building a library of AI models and datasets that categorize what people do. The same intelligence will power HumanHUD and be available to developers through APIs.
The dataset roadmap
Dataset targets, not current catalog counts. Our long-term ambition is 99.9% coverage of human activity; the scope and measurement still need to be defined. Models and developer APIs are in development.
First collection focus / Everyday life
Ten starting categories to shape the first datasets. Each collection will define the activity, requested data, and annotation requirements before it opens.
Find useful datasets across the internet, preserve their provenance, and respect each publisher’s access and usage terms.
Develop generated examples for activities that lack suitable data. Keep synthetic records identified and evaluate them against real observations.
Grow collections with opt-in egocentric video and sensor data from HumanHUD and HumanCapture, paired with human annotations.
HumanHUD brings activity intelligence to AR glasses. Our planned APIs will give developers access to the same model library for their own applications.
HumanCapture / In development
HumanCapture is the app we’re building to pay people $5 for each accepted first-person POV datapoint captured using compatible glasses and fully annotated. Choose a dataset task, record the activity and requested sensor data, and label what happened.
Proposed base bounty
$5
per accepted, fully annotated datapoint
Capture and annotation are two parts of one contribution. We’re exploring a split that rewards the people who complete each part.
Proposed split · $5 total when you complete both parts
See which datasets need contributions, what to record, and the bounty offered before you begin.
Use compatible glasses with a supported capture app or HumanHud.ai integration to record the requested first-person video and sensor data.
Annotate your own submission, or let another eligible contributor earn the annotation portion. You can also choose annotation-only work.
Accepted capture and annotation work earns the posted reward. Each task defines the evidence and quality requirements.
Tasks that require more effort may offer higher bounties. Once a dataset has enough accepted datapoints, its collection closes. Available work and reward amounts are specific to each task.
You choose what to contribute. Collection requires participant permission, and annotation access is limited to eligible contributors for that task.
HumanCapture, contributor payouts, and the $3 / $2 split are in development. Final task requirements and payment terms will be published before collection opens.
Executed workflow / Public robot sample
We imported a published robot recording, aligned its camera frames with action/state records, generated candidate labels, and exported a separate synthetic signal replay. Watch each step and inspect the resulting files.
This example uses third-party, fixed-camera robot footage. It demonstrates the data workflow; it is not HumanHUD capture or a trained activity model.
Recorded source · No new robot capture
A published pick-and-place episode with two fixed RGB cameras and synchronized six-dimensional robot action/state signals.
Watch the second cameraHeuristic labels · No SAM or learned inference
A simple color heuristic marks the visible pink object; changes in robot signals produce candidate motion labels. These candidates still need human review.

Interpolate recorded signals into a separate generated dataset and display a schematic arm replay. This is not a calibrated robot model or physics simulation.

Inspect the outputs
One episode checks the dataflow. It does not establish model accuracy, robot-policy quality, or generalization to other activities.

Match the data to the model
Start with video sequences, audio context, and temporal activity labels. The right inputs depend on your model’s architecture and training objective.
Look for demonstrations, action and state data, object labels, and camera views that match the robot or perception task you want to support.
Use text corpora for language models, and labeled examples to evaluate classification and structured decisions. Training and evaluation require different data splits.
TypeSafe describes Jev as a text-only decision model without customer fine-tuning. Labeled text and structured activity descriptions can support decision evaluation; raw video and audio are not direct Jev inputs.
Read TypeSafe’s model documentationCustom collection / HumanHUD
Our HumanHUD direction connects first-person activity understanding with useful assistance. We’re developing custom, permissioned collections around activities, objects, intent, and outcomes that matter to people, alongside a planned synthetic-data workflow.
Planned collection workflows
Use Meta’s SAM 3.1 for prompted object masks and tracks, then combine these with activity labels and human review. Segmentation supports the labeling workflow; it does not identify every activity on its own.
Reconstruct captured human actions as tasks for simulated robot arms, then repeat and vary them to produce synthetic examples. Simulation and generated collections are in development.
Through the planned robot SDK, connect the first-person view and instruction with a compatible robot’s permitted action and result, with participant permissions.
Custom and synthetic collections are scoped with your team. The downloadable example above demonstrates a small data workflow; production collections have their own scope and quality criteria.
