The world’s largest computer expo Cebit which dated from 15. March to 21. March and was held in Hannover, Germany saw some astonishingly creative gadget prototypes which were introduced to consumers and companies for the first time. One of the prototype gadgets caught my eye immediately. Nec called it the Dew Camera which is basically a wearable camera that constantly records moments in your daily experience.
The dew camera uses voice and gesture recognition to take pictures and videos from memorable (happy) moments only. I could not figure out unfortunately if the dew camera is using its own storage capabilities or relies on external devices that are connected by wireless lan with the camera.
Nec did present a dew viewer for the camera as well which “is a terminal device to replay your past experiences recorded by the camera. It can freely go back in time or show the marked memorable scenes.The viewer (display) can also show images of yourself, recorded by other people who wore the camera.”
