Mind Reading Video Camera?

Are you the type of person that loves to record and document your life daily? Do you like to shoot cool little movies with friends? Better yet, are you the person that struggles to get the best 6 seconds of footage to put on Vine?

A problem that many people run into when recording it the useless time consuming footage that gets deleted anyway. Neurowear, a Tokyo-based company, may have developed a piece of technology that will help everyone with this problem. The Neurocam shoots whatever the wearer thinks is interesting.

The 'mind-reading' neurocam prototype

It is a little gawky I admit, but the headpiece's camera that is uses is an iPhone. When the wearer is looking at something interesting the headpiece will evaluate the interest level of the user and that  will activate the camera. The headpiece uses 1-100 to gauge the level of interest and when anything passes 60 it will be recorded. A GIF, 5 second animated picture, will then be recorded. With the help of the iPhone the images are stamped with the exact location and date. 

I believe if the headpiece was less awkward looking and could supply its own camera, this product will be a real contender in the video recording market. What do you think? Will you try to wear it? It will be interesting to see how this product progresses.

  1. This is a really cool idea! I dont know if I would ever go out and get one myself but the concept is very intriguing. The fact that we could record and document everything we see would make it thatmuch easier to create and record memories and events.
