Microsoft Gadget Keeps Record of Your Life

Posted by michael on from the unexamined-life-not-worth-living-etc.-etc. dept.

An anonymous reader writes "SenseCam, touted as a visual diary of sorts by Microsoft Corp., is designed to be worn around the neck and take up to 2,000 images a 12-hour day automatically. The prototype responds to changes such as bright lights and sudden movements and might one day even respond to other stimuli such as heart rate or skin temperature -- to track medical problems as easily as to record a Hawaiian vacation."

    >>...responds to changes such as bright lights and sudden movements...

    well let's see, this comes from Microsoft (apparently much hated around here, imagine that.)

    I wonder how it would respond to a sudden movement, of...say... it being smashed against the wall?

      I don't get Slashdot at all...

      I try to be funny, I get modded offtopic.
      I respond to an off-topic post, I get modded Insightful.
      I try for an insightful port, I'm modded as a Troll.

      I really don't understand this system one bit...my original post was supposed to be humor, so mod it as Overrated..but off-topic? I don't think so.

    I'm glad to see Microsoft is endeavouring into something that actually retains it data. As my Pocket PC likes to lock up and periodically reboot itself. I can't keep data on there.
