# Hub.xyz

> Hub.xyz is an egocentric data company. It collects egocentric data in commercial and residential environments — video, image and audio — used to train world models and embodied AI, sourced through a global network of retail contributors and verified small and medium businesses.

Hub.xyz turns everyday human activity into machine training signal. Contributors and partner businesses capture egocentric recordings in commercial and residential environments; Hub curates them into pipeline-ready datasets for world models and embodied AI. Hub offers both off-the-shelf datasets and bespoke, custom-scoped collection projects quoted within hours.
