Microsoft Research SenseCam is a camera that you "wear" and it automatically takes pictures of your environment depending on various conditions. It's kinda like having an automatic 365 a day photo project or digital diary of the days events but you don't have to worry about actually pushing the shutter button.

Would you actually "wear" a camera? I used something similar on my dog once :^)
I might wear it...if I had an iron clad guarantee that it wouldn't go into some freaky 12 frame per sec. mode everytime I went to the bathroom ;)
I guess you'd have to remember to "pause" the camera. Besides I don't think capturing stills would be the problem, it's when the camera switches to sound and video recording that you'd have a problem :^)
I do think keeping an "automatic digital diary" would be kind of cool. 365 projects rarely make it to 365 daily pictures. Cheating tends to be the only way to Git R Done. How many of you doing 365 picture projects have honestly taken one photo every single day? When I tried doing a 365 project I often times took several pictures in a day to make up for the days I didn't shoot.
Yeah...Or being the procrastinator that I am...waiting untill day 364 to take them all...man that REDBULL was going down really well ;)
looks like a silly idea...
It's just a prototype but I think it's an interesting concept. Especially with the "younger kids". They love posting updates and moments online to share with friends and family.
Niko..To be serious for a minute..I'm sure lots of people would find it very entertaining to use.
