Hey Steve, remember how you wanted a device that would capture your whole life digitally so you could go back and replay the parts when you weren't paying attention (or something like that)? Well, Microsoft is on the job:
SenseCam, touted as a visual diary of sorts by Microsoft Corp. (MSFT), is designed to be worn around the neck and take up to 2,000 images a 12-hour day automatically.
The prototype responds to changes such as bright lights and sudden movements and might one day even respond to other stimuli such as heart rate or skin temperature - to track medical problems as easily as to record a Hawaiian vacation. And it could eventually link with other technology, such as face recognition to remind wearers when they've seen someone before.
