There are many small(er) news items that support or lend context to the new norms Janus Dialogs follows. As such, I’ll be gathering these together into a single running update. Below are the updates for life logging.
Pet’s View is life logging for your pets. This is a simple camera, USB, and collar device that allows your cat or dog to capture their day and easily upload to the computer for sharing. Designed by Jaehwa Lee @yankodesign
Nice article in Popular Mechanic about GoPro – one of the required tools for the active life logger. Launching just after YouTube in early 2007, @GoPro brings easy, and instantly shareable, life logging to the masses. New upgrades include multi-camera control.
Spikerbox from Back Yard Brains (@backyardbrains) is a $99 kit that allows everyone to play neuroscientist and see or hear the reactions to various stimuli like temperature and touch. This can be tracked on your smartphone to compare and store. Next step, recording how your brain reacts to various stimulus.
Google Screenwise panel will pay you to track even more information about you than they already know.
Contour (@contour_cam) has a new camera for logging your life’s stories, this one with built in GPS brings more than just audio and video to the stories. Location, mapping, and route can all be included.
Note: As always, the desire of Janus Dialogs is not to adjudicate the appropriateness of any trend, but to bring it to the forefront for consideration by the caretakers for the shared moments in time we call experience marketing.
