From LINQ to SilverLight – Watch videos and hear about all the cool technologies coming and the people behind them. http://channel9.msdn.com/Tags/life-casting en Sun, 12 Feb 2012 22:36:48 GMT Sun, 12 Feb 2012 22:36:48 GMT Rev9 2 1 25 A Camera that Records your Whole Life Originally a Microsoft Research project designed to help those with Alzheimer’s disease, the wearable SenseCam camera is now going into production. This small camera, created by researchers at the Cambridge Lab, is worn on a lanyard around the neck and takes photos whenever movement is spotted or a person approaches. To do so, the camera uses its built-in sensors that can detect changes in light, movement, temperature, and proximity to others.

Now a company called Vicon has licensed the production rights from Microsoft and plan to launch the camera as the “Vicon Revue.” No longer just for Alzheimer’s patients looking to jog their memory (remarkably, that actually works!), the Revue will soon be marketed to “lifebloggers” who want to document their everyday activity.

The camera has 1 GB of storage which is enough to hold around 30,000 of its geo-tagged low-res images. To see the prototype in action, check out this video here.

Cyborg
The fellow in question turned out to be Kevin Lim (http://theory.isthereason.com) who I first met at BlogOUT 2007 back in May when he rocked up with his backpack shrouded in web cams, speakers, wires and LCD screens and broadcast the entire event live to his USTREAM web channel.

Like Justin.tv (who Laura caught up with recently) Kevin is a life-caster; someone who shares their life experiences in real time by streaming the audio and video they see and hear to the web. Kind of like a reverse voyeurism (if there is such a thing).

We recorded a short interview for Channel 10 at BlogOUT but the microphone gremlins mucked up the audio so when Kevin spoke at ReMIX SEA 07 last week on the Web 2.0 panel we grabbed a few minutes at the end for a re-shoot.

Kevin is working on a PhD in communications and social media at the University of Buffalo and can give you an electric shock at 50 paces.

Check out Kevin's blog for more on life-casting, social media and a great overview of the Web 2.0 panel he particpated in at ReMIX SEA 07: http://theory.isthereason.com/?p=1735
