Microsoft SenseCam


Nobody probably wants to wear a camera around their neck 24 hours a day, so the Microsoft SenseCam is likely not mass market consumable. I mean, who would want to wear something that large all the time? However, one thing that can be said about it is that the idea is sound, and if the tech can be minimized and perfected, the SenseCam could be something everyone would want to use.

The SenseCam is basically just a camera you wear around your neck, and it will constantly take photos of your daily life. Around 30,000 photos or "100 hours of your life" can be recorded.

Now, I know it would be pretty boring to watch somebody else's mundane life, but imagine if people used these things 30-40 years ago (hypothetically speaking), I'm sure everyone would want to know what their grandparents, great grandparents were like in their daily lives. I'm sure everyone's future children and grandchildren would be awfully curious to know what you were like in the world we live in now. The SenseCam has the potential to literally be history come to life.
