Autographer (via OMG)
Another exaple of a simple idea made reality.
I always say I wish my eyes were camera lenses. I constantly find myself seeing something picturesque, I do not have a HQ camera and my phone just does not cut it. The company, OMG (Oxford Metrics Group) Life has come up with a product that brings me one step closer to my dream of photographic eyes. It's dubbed the Autographer; because it snaps pictures automatically, all day long when its sensors indicate something interesting has happened in its surroundings.
The Autograher is a tiny 37.4mmX90mmX22.9mm (WxLxT) camera that weighs only 58g and slings around your neck for easy portability. With 8GB of onboard storage, it could potentially take thousands of pictures when you decide an entire day will be worth capturing. The camera has built-in sensors that determine when to take pictures throughout the day. Accelerometers sense when you suddenly jump from excitement, infrared motion detectors pick up moving objects, and a thermometer notices when you walk out of the air-conditioned room to a gloriously warm summer day. Color sensors adjust for brightness accordingly. The built-in GPS and magnetometer note where you were and where you went, and all of this pertaining information is stored with every picture. The Autographer also offers editing software to make stop-frame videos and such.
The 5 megapixel camera has an all-glass wide-angle precision lens and fixed focus that gives a 136 degree field of view of your first-person perspective. An OLED display lets you check out each picture on the camera, and built-in Bluetooth allows for wireless transfer.
The device will be available for purchase in November from autographer.com. Just don’t get too excited, or all the pictures could turn out too blurry.
