We built a consumer product like this back in 2013 - Autographer. The hard bits were i) battery life, ii) taking good pictures when moving, iii) having a socially acceptable & nicely designed product that points in the right direction, iv) connectivity, v) wide FOV camera module vi) How to subselect & create the best picture/video experiences (intelligence & creativity) vii) Who/when/what it was really for.
In 2017 v) is solved, i)/ii)/iv) are easier, google should be able to do vi) as well as anyone, let's see about vii). Anyway good luck to them and I'll be buying one.
- a3_nm 9y agoBattery life is 3 hours, and this seems ridiculously low for something that's designed to be left running without supervision.
- dharma1 9y agoi'd like to have a small wearable camera that's on all day, snapping away, even if it was 3fps, and have some kind of voice recognition/hands free operation. Could wipe the storage daily. Wide fov, fast lens and optical stabilisation would be nice. The Xiaomi Yi's (and other Chinese cameras using Ambarella/HiSilicon/Allwinner SoCs) are cheap and pretty scriptable, but a bit too big/obvious. Anyone know of a camera that would work? This Google one doesn't take pictures of everything, and is pretty expensive for what it is.
