Lifelogging Takes Another Step Forward
Just your average lifelogger
Lifelogging – recording every single minute of your life (or as much of it as possible) – continues its unstoppable march towards the mainstream with the announcement that Vicon will soon release a life recording device called the Revue.
The device is worn around your neck and automatically takes photos up to every 30 seconds. The Revue boasts an accelerometer, light sensor, and heat sensor that allow it to automatically take pictures at key moments when the wearer enters a new environment, confronts a person, and so on.
With an ability to capture 30,000 images per gigabyte the camera can easily capture 10 days worth of footage. Although the device sounds pretty cool at first (or creepy depending on your perspective) there are several hurdles that need to be overcome for the product to be useful to more than a niche audience. The Revue probably won’t be a huge success, but it is still notable, foretelling a breed of much more powerful life recording devices soon to follow.(Via azspot)
