^Your point?

i didn't see anyone talk to him. i didn't watch the whole thing, but even if anyone talked to him is because the guy is pleasant looking.

Not really the pointed... It's the fact he still got talk to with them on.

Frankly, I would want the exact opposite - a gGlass-style head-mounted computer without a camera.

Why not both?

Btw, I do think the additional software is too much.

Situations to use our video camera! "handsfree"

Had a few emails today and wanted to share a bit with our Kickstarter audience.
One email was from a mom who wished she had our camera when she was helping her son ride his bike for the first time She said she struggled trying to balance him on the bike and hold her phone up to take video. End result was she said no video of his first time riding bike.

Another is from a golfer who said he would wear it to record his game. Then edit it and show only his good shots to his family and friends!

Another is about a family who went on vacation recently to Maya Ruins. The dad said he wished he had a way to record "hands free" the whole time and edit it later.

There is many many uses for a video camera like ours, its not just to wear 12 hours a day and record everything about your life. Its to record and relive those special moments.
Thank you for backing us!

Hands free Camera

Single mom ?

I'm sure there are lots of hands free videocams.

I'm sure there are lots of hands free videocams.

But you don't have a problem with those, only with the Lifelogger?

 

[osirisjem]

But you don't have a problem with those, only with the Lifelogger?

Yep.
All of these are fine.
The only distinguishing feature of the Lifelogger from a 1000 wearable vidcams is the creepy parts.

EDIT
462 backers
$79,384 pledged of $150,000 goal

= NOT going to make it.

Realistically the images are going to be TERRIBLE. Super Shaky.
The idea that software is going to smooth out head movements is fantasy.
The mom video taping her kid biking while she is running behind is going to be terrible.

For the niche time you actually want hands free video (beware the quality will be terrible) ... try this

Lifelogger: where you don't live your life ... you make like a tripod.

Like geotagging, OCR and facial recognition? The stuff already built into thousands of other cameras?

$79000 in the first week, 39 days to go. You're right, they probably won't make it.

Are you saying there's no such thing as de-shaker software?

But seriously, if your head shakes that much, you should consult a doctor.

As Veho said you probably want to get that nervous tic looked at. Similarly I do not see it being so different to mounting it on my helmet, my shoulders or my handlebars. In fact on head is probably better than the latter two of those as most people, or at least most people tend to try to keep their head relatively still so as to be able to see. Similarly at 720p you can probably afford to do a proper motion tracking crop or letterbox.

did you not see the demo? the stabilizer seems to work really well.

i always wondered why no one made an edit app for the iphone or android that records movement as you record video to stabilize during edit.

 

[FAST6191]

I wonder how well that would work over conventional motion tracking. Best case scenarios that I can see is it prevents the false positives at the start of motion tracking (though in and of itself that might help if some anti wobble stuff I have seen on cameras is anything to go by) and maybe provides a slight boost if you are doing an iterative process. Either way though I would have thought it would have been far too low resolution to help.

Now if such a thing could help lessen rolling shutter then we might have something to talk about.

Is this Google Glass more acceptable?

[DunnoBro]

I really want this, so many memorable moments go by that i wish i could save from my original perspective. And the google glass looks like it'll be pricey as all hell...

Only reasons i won't get it would be:

A: looks like the recording service needs to be paid for after the fact? A monthly fee would make this not worth it to me.
B: i think something to deliver this effect, but cheaper might already be available to me
C: i'm way too optimistic about how it'll look on me and how much i'll use it.

Incoming flood of videos of people eating their food. Just pictures is no longer enough!

In the meantime:

$169 in 35 minutes, meaning $290/hour, meaning $6960/day, meaning $243,600 until the campaign ends.

My hobby: extrapolating.

 

[osirisjem]

meaning $6960/day

They didn't collect 2,000 since thursday.
= 500/day.

 

[WiiCube_2013]

Looks like a thief could snatch it easy but not sure they'd actually want it, maybe if it's worth a lot.

This, or else...

All the POV pr0n...

 

[DunnoBro]

I mostly want it as a decent HD camera that i don't need to really exert myself to use.

I don't have a smartphone anymore, I was paying 5x more than my job's phone plan for stuff i used maybe once every three months. I also didn't want to be forced to use this with a cloud service and pay each month for that, I couldn't find any info on it so i asked, here's the response:

Think I'll donate now.

 

[KingVamp]

Can Osirisjem actually be accidentally right about them not making it?
