Life in Motion: Charting the World's Pulse is a groundbreaking citizen-driven initiative inviting participants to document their unique perspectives on urban culture, everyday life, and emerging global trends through video storytelling. Contributors play a vital role in building a living, real-time anthology of human experiences while generating valuable datasets to enhance RapidEye's multi-modal AI system.
Participants will use RapidEye's platform to record and upload videos capturing the world as they see it, tagging detected objects, landmarks, and trends. This process not only creates interactive, dynamic content but also provides training data to enhance AI-powered annotations and predictions. By blending human storytelling with AI-driven insights, this initiative sets a new standard for participatory video platforms and collaborative global documentation.

WHAT PARTICIPANTS WILL DO:
Participants will enrich RapidEye's AI system by contributing data that enhances contextual understanding and predictive capabilities.
Participants will:
✅ Record and upload videos featuring landmarks, cultural practices/lifestyles, emerging trends, and real-world events.
✅ Tag and label AI-detected objects and locations in their video content.
✅ Provide feedback on the video upload process to help improve our CMS (Content Management System).

THEMATIC PILLARS:
The project is structured into three thematic pillars, allowing contributors to share moments that define their world:
1) A Day in My Life & What’s Happening in My World
This theme offers a dual perspective:
- A Day in My Life: Personal routines, traditions, and the everyday moments that shape daily life.
- What’s Happening in My World: Real-world events, social movements, and changes happening in communities that may not be widely covered by mainstream media.
Participants are encouraged to capture videos featuring:
📍 Daily routines and traditions (e.g., morning rituals, market scenes).
📍 Unique pet stories (e.g., how pets are part of daily life around the world).
📍 Local events and global movements (e.g., cultural celebrations, demonstrations, environmental shifts).
Example Content:
📽️ A morning street vendor in Bangkok, a protest in Paris, or a dog’s festival celebration in Nepal.
2) Global Trend Trackers
Explores emerging global trends in fashion, technology, food, and lifestyle. Contributors help identify and map evolving trends, creating valuable insights for research and storytelling.
Participants are encouraged to capture videos featuring:
📍 Notable shifts in fashion, sustainability, and tech adoption.
📍 Emerging street food trends and culinary innovations.
📍 Consumer behavior and cultural influences on design, products, and media.
Example Content:
📽️ A viral streetwear trend in Tokyo, a rising plant-based food movement in Berlin, or a new tech innovation in Silicon Valley.
3) Urban Landmark Hunters
Documents the history, architecture, and cultural landmarks that define cities worldwide. RapidEye's AI will provide historical context and enrich these stories through AI-powered insights.
Participants are encouraged to capture videos featuring:
📍 Unique architectural wonders and hidden gems.
📍 Cultural or historically significant sites.
📍 The evolution of urban spaces over time.
Example Content:
📽️ The Hagia Sophia’s rich history in Istanbul, street art transformations in Buenos Aires, or an ancient marketplace in Marrakech.
