Wearable Cameras

A good article by Jennifer Healey and Rosalind Picard is avaliable online, titled "StartleCam: A Cybernetic Wearable Camera". StartleCam is an idea to employ body sensors to activate a camera on the person. Having recently been in a stituation where I witnessed a mother kick her daughter in a supermarket parking lot, I can appreciate the desire to trigger recording by dramatic changes in one's personal body. Perferably I'd like a device that records all the time, and would red flag pertinant data for later review, but I can undstand data storage limitations. I have wanted a wearable camera for a long time. If you're interesting in building a wearable camera, I recommend you check out Steve Mann's DomeWear which with a few other products, could produce a very effective startlecam.

Gargoyle Links on the Web

As this site is designed to provide resources for "gargoyles" of all types, I thought I'd begin posting with links that I've found on the web related to gargoyles.

• E2 Description of a "gargoyle" by user heckley
• Steve Mann / wearcam.org - One of the early pioneers and most active gargoyle and wearable innovators in my opinion. Warning: Steve Mann is not a web designer, and while there is a lot of content on his site, it can be hard to wade through.
• The Gargoyle Wearable Computer Project - An old gargoyle project last updated in 1998.
• Project Gargoyle - Another gargoyle project last updated in 2001.

If anyone has any other links, please post them in the comments!
