A number of people already post photos of their daily activities to their blogs, or have a specific photo blog they upload images to whenever the mood to take a snapshot strikes. With the Vicon Revue, you won’t need to remember to take a photo every time you see something interesting and then upload it to the Web. The Revue comes with a neck strap so you can hang the camera around your neck, and it takes photos passively without the user having to push a button. This means that as long as you’re wearing it, you’re recording every moment of your day without any effort on your part.
The Revue wasn’t designed for blogging: it’s a product of Microsoft’s Research group to help people with memory loss or Alzheimer’s disease see where they’ve been, or give their family or caretakers a way to find out where they’ve been when the individual can’t remember. It uses Microsoft’s SenseCam technology, which takes wide-angle photos instead of flat, narrow ones. It is available now for 500 British Pounds, the equivalent of approximately $793 US Dollars.
