San Francisco-based inventor Lucas Rizzotto spent all of 2019 wearing cameras on his face. He then built a virtual reality time machine that lets him relive any memory from the year by simply punching in a date and time.
While users were distracted by the new Pixel 4 and other gadgets debuted at this week's Google event, the company quietly discontinued the Google Clips AI-powered lifelogging camera. After poor reviews and even worse adoption, it seems Google is giving up on the camera altogether.
After a successful teaser and IndieGoGo campaign, Canon is officially releasing the IVY REC: a screen-less, clippable, go-anywhere point-and-shoot camera that was designed for outdoor lovers who want something that's more rugged than their smartphone to document their adventures.
Insta630 just announced its smallest, most convenient camera yet... and it might just be the first "life-logging" action camera to break into the mainstream. It's called the Insta360 GO, and it's a teeny 18.3g action cam that the brand has dubbed "the world's smallest stabilized camera."
It was about time that another company released a "Story Mode" on a camera device, and this time it's a company called Ubiquiti Labs that has released a new wearable camera that will let all your friends know what you're up to. The product is called FrontRow.
This new wearable action camera is designed to be kid-proof, allowing parents to capture family memories from the perspective of their child. It’s called the ‘Benjamin Button’, and the Kickstarter project was funded within hours of going live.
Despite half a million dollars in crowdfunding support in 2012, and millions more in funding in late 2013, lifelogging camera company Narrative announced today that they have filed for "voluntary dissolution." In other words, the company is going out of business.
Quite a few lifelogging cameras and services have emerged in the past few years, but one Italian guy in Sweden has been doing it much, much longer than that -- and in a strange way, to boot. 36-year-old Alberto Frigo has snapped a photo of every object his right hand has touched for the past 11 years. His project is titled "Images of the artifacts used by the main hand."
The lifelogging camera market is starting to get crowded. One day after Narrative announced a new version of its wearable, always-snapping camera, a new challenger has emerged. It's called the SnapCam, and is made by a company called iON (better known for making home and action cameras).
Narrative has just announced the second generation of its wearable lifelogging camera, and the new model features wireless connectivity and a better camera for constantly documenting your life.
You wouldn't expect lifelogging cameras to be the source of tear-jerking footage, but the folks at Huggies Korea recently launched a heartwarming project that'll get you, as they say, right in the feels.
It was inevitable. As camera tech progressed, cameras became smaller. As cameras became smaller, their implementation into more areas of technology and culture as a whole became more ubiquitous.
Where we currently are in this ongoing progression is a turning point of sorts where cameras are as wearable as the clothes on our back, and NewViewWear just took it a step further with a new line of clothing that has a camera built right in.
This latest device from technology licensing company Rambus goes to show: when you combine information-gathering sensors with powerful algorithms, you can yield some incredible results.
Developed by research scientist Patrick Gill, this 200 micron diameter glass sensor is capable of capturing an image of remarkable quality for its size. Etched with a spiral pattern, the light reflecting off of whatever object is being "photographed" is transferred as a pattern, in the form of spherical light, to the CMOS sensor.
Google is planning on rolling wearable camera glasses out to the general public in the near future, so we may soon be hearing utterances of "okay glass" all around us as owners snap photos with voice control. If using your voice as a shutter isn't your thing, you might want to start waiting for the Neurocam. It's a crazy iPhone-based camera system that uses your brain waves to snap photos!
Memoto, the company behind the wearable camera that automatically documents the user's life by taking a photo every 30 seconds, has a new name, $3 million in fresh capital, and plans to start shipping product next month.
A couple of weeks ago, it was discovered that Google Glass has wink detection features baked into the device that could allow users to stealthily snap photographs of anything just by winking at it. Today, the first wink-to-shoot app was launched.
Memoto has been making an appearance at the SXSW 2013 festival over the past week. When founders arrived at the show last Thursday, they wore two of the tiny lifelogging cameras they've been developing. The devices snapped one photo ever thirty seconds, and the duo soon amassed tens of thousands of point-of-view images capturing the things they were experiencing in Austin, Texas.
If you're curious about the image quality of the wearable cameras, the company has published a set of initial sample photos.
There are a number of lifelogging camera projects racing to be first movers in the emerging industry of cameras …
One of the big ideas that seems destined to explode over the next decade is lifelogging, the ability to automatically capture and store one's life and experiences for future reference. Memoto is a new camera that's trying to be a pioneer in this emerging market. Its name and tagline should give you a good sense of what it does: "Memoto Lifelogging Camera: A tiny, automatic camera and app that gives you a searchable and shareable photographic memory."
