Microsoft’s life-blogging SenseCam becomes the ViconRevue, coming to a lanyard near you in 2010
The months of 2004 were halcyon days for those hoping to capture their entire existences digitally. Nokia was talking up
Lifeblog as a way to chronicle every action of every day, while Microsoft had a few
SenseCams floating around, snapping random images twice a minute to create a sort of slideshow of your daily tedium. Neither went mainstream, but Microsoft's option still has some legs, getting licensed by a company called Vicon and re-dubbed the ViconRevue. It now has 1GB of internal storage backing what seems to be a VGA camera sensor that can snap a picture every 30 seconds. At £500 ($820) they're currently intended for those studying Alzheimers and dementia, but a consumer model is due next year, and hopefully it will be affordable enough for those with memories but no government grants.
