The document discusses the SenseCam, a small wearable camera that passively captures photos automatically based on sensors. It can be used for medical, education, and other purposes by helping users recall past events. After capturing images, they are segmented into events, landmarks, and novelty values. An empirical study found that users had mixed reactions to being constantly recorded. The future of SenseCams may include longer battery life, improved image quality, and integrated smart sensors. Open questions remain around privacy, legal issues, and the impact on human memory and social norms.

HISTORY…..

5. Possible areas of use
 Medical
 Education
 Ethnography
 Lifelogging
 Tourism
 Disabilities

6. Post Capture - Image Segmentation
Optimize searching and browsing
Current Research
DCU - Three main processing elements
 Broken into Events
 Landmark Photo
 Calculation of novelty values

7. Empirical Study
Aim
 How those being recorded would perceive and react to the device
 Explore the capabilities of the camera
Format used
 Open-ended Interview
 Semi-formal setting
 Recipients had a range of experience
 Audio recorded

8. The future outlook
Change is guaranteed both in use and abilities
- Longer lasting battery - Improved image capture - Smarter sensors
Compass add-on -
 Not always the obvious pictures which trigger an event
 No method of predicting what will trigger recall
 Including as many views as possible
Changes
 Change in compass often indicates the lens in facing new objects
 Historical data to predict the likelihood of a new view

9. Conclusion
 Possibilities are endless
 Large amount of Research in the area
 More intuitive, smarted device on the horizon
 High possibility of it being integrated with clothing
 Large amount of issues -
 Privacy
 concealed image capture
 Adds to the great number of devices logging our every move
 Do drastic changes lie ahead regarding social norms
 Legal issues - who has right to the images? how they are used?
Can images be used by the law? Will this lead to forgery?
 Worries weither the device will weaken human ability?
 Is there a value in forgetting?

10. Conclusion
 Future is running, catch it before something
new happens.
