The Vicon Revue camera is the genius work of OMG, an Oxford-based company that is famous for the technology that it uses in Hollywood films.  Although the Vicon Revue camera is designed with Alzheimer’s disease sufferers in mind, it is a cool gadget overall.  The company is teaming up with the neuroscience industry to make sure the device is available to individuals suffering from memory loss.

The Vicon Revue camera is a wearable camera that automatically takes digital photos throughout the day.  This is especially helpful to individuals that suffer from memory loss.  At the end of the day, the images can be viewed to reinforce a patient’s memory.  The camera is intelligently built and automatically takes pictures based on certain stimuli, such as changes in temperature or light.  For example, when an individual enters a new room, the camera will sense the difference in brightness and automatically take a picture.

The Vicon Revue camera is not heavy at all.  The device is lighter and smaller than an iPod which makes wearing the camera an easy feat.  The camera is on a roped cord.  The camera itself is small and black.  Individuals should expect to pay about $820 for the camera, and unfortunately, the camera will only be sold to researchers initially.  It may be awhile before the average consumer is able to get their hands on the Vicon Revue camera.
