MS's "Lifeblogging" Camera Enters Mass Production
holy_calamity writes "Remember Microsoft's camera to be slung around the necks of people with Alzheimer's to help them recall where they'd been? A version of this device will now be mass-produced by a UK firm, Vicon, which obtained a license from Microsoft to manufacture the camera. It is worn around the neck and takes an image every thirty seconds, or in response to its light sensor, accelerometer, or body-heat sensor indicating that something of interest may be happening. Until now only a few hundred had been made for research, which showed they can genuinely help people with memory problems. The new version will be marketed to Alzheimer's researchers this winter, and to consumers for 'lifelogging' beginning in 2010."

That's the next question outta my mouth after trying to figure out why the #!*@$ I walked into the kitchen in the first place.
Error:
I'd like to have one to wear for when I go drinking, as I usually end up somewhere I don't remember being!

It may have been cheaper to license an existing Micro$oft design than it would have been to get their own drivers certified for Vista/Windoze 7.
Check your lifeblogging camera, it'll help you remember.
