The Looxcie Wearable Video Camera Never Stops Recording


The problem with YouTube is that you can only share stuff you happened to be recording. The Looxcie, a $200 video camera that you wear on your ear, proposes a simple solution: record everything, all the time.
Here's the idea: You wear the Looxcie on your ear and it records everything you see, roughly as you see it. The camera can hold up to four hours of video (in crummy 480×320 at 15fps); when it runs out of space, it starts dumping the oldest footage—it's not made for collectingclips, it's for capturing them in the moment.

  5. Soon we're all going to have cameras embedded in our eyes and it will stream in real time on the internet and everybody will know exactly what we're doing exactly when we're doing it.

  8. Looks a bit too obtrusive for my liking. I'll wait until they're a bit smaller (and have better quality videos!)

  17. i'd use one on each ear and then make a fucking 3d movie of my youth, then, when i reach half of my life(around 45) i'd stop anything and then just watch my youth, so, i'd be twice young and never old
