diary or journal used to be the way we recalled our memories, but that’s only if you actually remember to log them in and after which there is still a gargantuan task ahead that involves scouring over pages and pages of ‘memories’, which you’d have to remember when it happened in the first place. that was then (by ‘then’ it would mean decades). between now and then, there is a void where there aren’t any real solutions existed and this is the gap Lifelogger wants to fill. with the Lifelogger, not only can you journalize your everyday happenings, but you will be doing so as you see it – meaning, in first person point of view (POV) and in video footages. we are not sure the appeal of this, but we are assuming this works like a dash cam on our autos, which for the good or the bad, it can capture everything that happens right before your eyes and after which, you can easily reference back when you need to recall a particular memory.
human memory is limited and there is certainly no way we can ‘upgrade’ our memories anytime soon, and so the Lifelogger is kind of an external memory, or a peripheral if we might call it, to help you to remember things and accessing them whenever you need. it is a head-worn device and packs GPS, WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, magnetometer and accelerometer, a built-in battery pack, a 32GB SD card for onboard storage, and of course, a video camera fitted with a 90-degree fixed lens that’s capable of recording 720p (at 30 fps) footages and captures 5MP stills – all in a device that looks and shaped like a Bluetooth headset. the Lifelogger also boast other snapshot capabilities like photo burst at up to 10 per second and time lapse recording too. control is achieved on the device itself or via smartphone with a companion app for Android or iOS device. the app allows you to take control of the device, manage existing videos, login to your cloud account, if you choose to safe keep your memories on the cloud for access on virtually any device at the time of your choosing.
recorded data can be automatically uploaded to the cloud, or you can opt to manually upload selected videos. your choice. uploaded datas on the cloud are archived in a simple 3D timeline, organized by data to facilitate easy search at a later time. other parameters such as face detection, optimal character recognition, voice recognition and GPS coordinates are also logged together with the recorded videos to make searching of your memories even easier. and as a final touch of up selling the cloud storage service, Lifelogger promised that uploaded videos will be put through a cloud-based meta data processing software where the footages will be stabilized so that they are easier on the eyes when viewed. if video logging your life is what you are after, you can head on down to Kickstarter where Lifelogging is running a campaign to reel in funds to turn prototype into product and be ready for the holiday season. a pledge of $169 or more will score you a unit, well, provided the campaign hits its set funding goal of $150,000.
