Each link
  1. 1. Real personClaimed

    Person · Claimed. Participants are paid to demonstrate tasks; individuals sign up in the app and register their profession, and Mecka also recruits businesses.

    Still open: How contributors are identified, vetted or consented is not published. Mecka has reported contributors submitting YouTube videos as their own recordings.

  2. 2. Captured locallyNot stated

    Camera · Not stated

    Still open: Not a signed capture, so none (STANDARD §3). What is stated: Camera caps and external cameras on Mecka's own hardware, plus smartphones. No C2PA or signed capture; Mecka is not on the C2PA conforming products list. Uploaded footage has included screen-sourced fakes (YouTube videos), per the CEO.

    Place · Not stated

    Still open: No location proof is documented. Mecka says it must be present where collection happens, but publishes no method for proving where a capture was made.

  3. 3. Genuine deviceNot stated

    App · Not stated

    Still open: Mecka builds its own capture hardware and iOS app (which auto-starts recording when hands enter the frame), but no device or app attestation is documented. Capture in the provider's own app or rig is not a server-verified attestation (STANDARD §3).

  4. 4. Sealed captureNot stated

    Camera · Not stated

    Still open: Not a signed capture, so none (STANDARD §3). What is stated: Camera caps and external cameras on Mecka's own hardware, plus smartphones. No C2PA or signed capture; Mecka is not on the C2PA conforming products list. Uploaded footage has included screen-sourced fakes (YouTube videos), per the CEO.

    Content · Claimed. Processing heuristics flag problems, escalation engines route them, and quality gates plus computer vision run in post-processing.

    Still open: Acceptance criteria and QC results are not published; Mecka says quality standards still shift as it learns.

    Counts only with a stated signing mechanism (C2PA, a manifest).

  5. 5. Known timestampNot stated

    Time · Not stated. Sensor streams are synchronised and aligned in post-processing.

    Still open: Synchronisation aligns streams to each other; no signed or independently time-stamped capture time is documented.

  6. 6. Tracked in transitNot stated

    Custody record (optional field) · Not stated

  7. 7. Independently verifiedNot stated

    Cross-check · Not stated

    Still open: No independent check of commissioned data is documented. EgoVerse replicated human-to-robot transfer across labs, which tests usefulness, not capture provenance.

  8. 8. Delivered to youNot stated

    Delivery receipt (optional field) · Not stated

Notes

About. Mecka collects human-demonstration data for robot learning. Paid participants and recruited businesses record everyday and workplace tasks in homes and commercial settings, using Mecka's own capture hardware (camera caps, a sensor hub, tactile gloves) and an iOS app. Mecka then processes the recordings into motion tracking, hand pose and 3D reconstruction. Buyers (robotics labs, frontier model teams, enterprises) can get dataset access or commission task-specific collection, both through sales. Prices, turnaround and licence terms are not published.

Price. No prices are published. Teams 'reach out and we'll scope the right entry point': dataset access, commissioned collection, evaluations or a full data program.

Coverage. Mecka says it runs 'a global production operation, with capture fleets recording human demonstration in homes and commercial environments', and its CEO says anyone can sign up through the app 'from anywhere in the world'. No country list is published. Offices are in New York, Toronto and San Francisco; jobs are listed in the US and Canada only. The EgoVerse globe shows capture sites in the US, Canada, Switzerland, Indonesia, Vietnam, the Philippines, Kosovo, Colombia, Argentina and Kenya, but that map covers the whole multi-lab consortium, not Mecka alone.

Timing. Mecka says teams can 'commission task-specific collection' and that it will 'scope the right entry point', but publishes no turnaround.

Licence. Mecka publishes no terms of service or data licence; its only legal page is a privacy policy (effective 20 Mar 2026, Carbon Based Technology Corporation, DBA Mecka AI), which covers personal data and 'dataset contributions' but not buyer rights. The CEO says Mecka will 'license a lot of the data' it creates and that its data is licensed to foundation-model companies; exclusivity, buyer ownership, AI-training rights and resale are not stated in any published terms. The open EgoVerse code is MIT-licensed; the dataset licence is not stated on egoverse.ai.
