What's interesting is that some recording is acceptable to people. A friend researches lifelogging (methods to record your life experience). He has worn a Sensecam (a device that takes still pictures every 30 seconds all day long, with a button for 'I am using the restroom now') with no complaints from anyone. He explains what he's doing and they are fine (it's very visible hanging around his neck). He asked a student to wear a Sensecam with a sound recorder and noone wanted to be anywhere near that guy, because sound was a record they could be held to. I see the potential in such devices, but there is a balance that has to be respected, between the public and the private.
- Loughla 12y agoGenuine question; what could a sensecam possibly be useful for?
- cheshire137 12y agoSounds like a fun way to remember the details of each day. Could also be a way to get decent snapshots without fumbling for your phone, since the frequency is so high. I think the Narrative camera looks nicer and is smaller than Sensecam. http://getnarrative.com http://getnarrative.com

- ehurrell 12y agoIt's got a couple of 'outside research' uses, the one I think is least trivial is as a tool for Alzheimer's suffers to review their short-term memory. It makes a real difference to their quality of life, improves their recall and gives them more confidence around their memory.
