Twin Participant Study
We’re excited to invite identical twins and same-gender lookalike siblings to participate in Project Humus. Your involvement helps ensure technology better reflects the diversity of the real world. Participants will be asked to complete a brief demographic survey.
What’s this project about?
We are collecting video and audio recordings from people in their everyday home environments. This helps us build and improve technology that can better understand real-life activities, sounds, and situations. You may participate in this project either onsite at one of our facilities or from the comfort of your own home. If you choose your residential location, our Moderator will coordinate and schedule the session at your residence.

You’ll be recorded using a camera and microphone while performing simple tasks like:
Saying short phrases
Reading short prompts out loud
Making basic facial or head movements (like smiling or turning your head)
Simple acting tasks (e.g., pretending to clean the kitchen or sort mail)
