LifeLogging Camera - Recording Your Life Twice A Minute

LifeloggingThere are so many devices which can record what we are doing in our day to day activities. The GoPro camera is one of the very popular ones on the market. Then there are all the wrist bands which can monitor your health and activities and transmit them to a mobile device. Another example of that is the Fitbit which can track and monitor a variety of medical items along with sleep patterns. It seems that we are able to record and track so many things in life which gives one the ability to look back over time to see how you are doing. Technology continues to move forward and now we are waiting for the release of a product to record our life in pictures.

The Memoto Lifelogging camera is coming to market in the next few weeks and will move from recording medical type readings on a mobile device to recording actual pictures and pushing them to the Cloud. This is a little larger than a postage stamp and clips to your shirt where it can record pictures with the 5 megapixel camera at intervals as low as 30 seconds. As long as the camera is in an up position, it can take pictures. And it will turn itself off when placed on a table using the built in accelerator.

With battery life of about 2 days when recording at 2 pictures every minute, this becomes a great way to track your life. And the battery life and megapixels will increase over time. The question is who is going to want to record their life on the go about the day? Being on vacation, this would be a fantastic way to track what I am doing and where I am. As the pictures are uploaded to the Cloud, they are automatically tagged for your later retrieval. All without having to pull out a camera or my smart phone to take a picture. I would no longer miss those great pictures that I do and have a picture memory of my vacation.

This is not something which I would want to use while I am working or normal activities as there is no value for that. But, for say a person with Alzheimer disease having one of these attached when they accidentally wander away would become the fastest way to find them as they wander in unfamiliar areas. The pictures and GPS location would help them to be found quickly.

This may raise some questions about taking pictures of people when they are not aware that is being done, but that is for others to tackle. You can pre-order one today at Memoto today for $279.
