This tiny camera is called “The Narrative” and it will record snapshots of your day every 30 seconds, and it’s so small you may even forget you have it on.
The tiny camera measures just over one inch, and is built like a tie clip; the device stays in place with a metal clip on the back.
According to Wired, an accelerometer inside the Narrative knows which way is “up” and will orient the photos accordingly. There are no buttons; a single photo can be captured simply by double-tapping on the front of the device, much like a normal camera.
The Narrative web site says the clip “is a tiny, automatic camera and app that gives you a searchable and shareable photographic memory.”
Wired reported:
Leave it on all the time to shoot twice a minute, and the Narrative will record more than 2,800 images per day. The camera’s 8GB of memory holds about 4,000 pictures total, so it’s tough to fill it in a single day. The rechargeable battery lasts about 30 hours, and its 5-megapixel (2592×1944) photos come out with about the same quality as an iPhone 4.
The Narrative is just one of a crop of ever-observant, wearable cameras currently hitting the market. The increasing popularity of these devices — fueled largely by Google Glass — has led to a backlash. They’re sinister, people say. Too much like Big Brother.
