A camera that you can wear as a pendant to film every moment of your life will soon be brought by a company from Great Britain on the market.
Originally invented memories to help people with Alzheimer's on the jumps, the camera could one day be used to "life logs" of consumers to record their entire lives to archive. worn
On a ribbon around the neck, the camera takes a picture automatically every 30 seconds. She also uses an accelerometer and light sensors to take pictures when a person enters a new environment. The camera uses infrared sensors to also make pictures, when body heat is detected in front of the wearer. The camera with 1 gigabyte of storage can hold up to 30,000 images.
The camera was originally named as ViconRevue SenseCam from Microsoft Research Unit in Cambridge in the UK developed so that researchers investigating Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. Research has shown that re-watching events of the day using the SenseCam some people in improving their long-term memory helped .
has now Vicon, a motion to allow entry for the film industry specialist company based in the United Kingdom, to license the technology from Microsoft, and intends to let them go into mass production.
Imogen Moorhouse, managing director of Vicon says, Microsoft has licensed the technology, because Microsoft is not the demand for the device comes afterwards. So far, 500 pieces were produced, mainly for use by researchers.
We do not come behind
Vicon version will be sold for around 820 USD and the market will initially be addressed to researchers and the unit will go in the next few months on sale. A version for consumers in 2010 on the market.
The device is used to meeting of the Society for Neuroscience in Chicago this weekend in cooperation with a research group that previously used the SenseCam introduced.
A study published this year in which described how one person helped SenseCam, which suffered from encephalitis and was constantly hampered by their memory in relation to recent events the happened. After the person for three weeks every 2 days SenseCam images looked at a particular event, she could improve her memory greatly, even months later, again without again to see the images and compared with events that have not looked at again in this way or only been recorded in writing.
life protocol
For consumers, the device offers an easy way a "Life Logger" are - this is someone who tries to take too much electronically as possible of his life. Microsoft researcher Gordon Bell has made his life a life-logging experiment and takes on everything from telephone calls to the television he uses SenseCam, wherever he goes, too.
"What is with this type of memory technology, so great is that it can be very useful in ordinary for the people," says Henry Kautz , an agent working in perceptual assistive technology computer researcher at the University of Rochester in New York.
"If you win first mass-market, lowers the price" After all, he says, a device could be similar to the SenseCam, part of an artificial memory that is used by ordinary people, just as now, notebooks and planners be used as a reminder.
