What the job really is

About Tacit

We are an early-stage, deep tech startup based in San Francisco, developing innovative hardware that rethinks human-computer interaction. We are backed by General Catalyst, Khosla Ventures, and Greylock Partners, with a founding team from Stanford, BrainGate, Oculus, and Tesla. While we can’t reveal too much just yet, our team is tackling cutting-edge engineering challenges to bring revolutionary products to life.

Seeking volunteers for a human-computer interaction research study in San Francisco and San Jose!

We're seeking volunteers for an in-person study on how people engage with text while using a new wearable interface. We're looking for readers of all kinds, avid or occasional. No technical or research background is needed.

Time Commitment

  • One session in San Francisco (SOMA) or San Jose, lasting 1 to 4 hours depending on the study tasks

  • No ongoing or minimum time commitment. You can take part once and be done.

What to expect

  • Wear a non-invasive, wearable prototype during the session

  • Read English-language materials we provide

  • Follow instructions from the study team

  • Share brief feedback at the end

The session takes place in a quiet, distraction-free room. You can remove the device at any time, and before you agree to participate we'll walk you through exactly how it works and how data is recorded.

Eligibility

  • Adults 18 and over

  • Able to attend sessions in person in San Francisco or San Jose

  • Fluent English speaker, comfortable reading English-language materials

  • Able to follow instructions and completing simple tasks on your own

Voluntary Participation

This is a voluntary research study, not employment. You can withdraw at any point and still be paid for the hours you completed.

As a thank-you for your time

Participants will receive $20 for every hour of a session they complete. Payment goes out via PayPal within a few days after completing your session.
