POV video
Similar to DARPA's Lifelog , Microsoft's MyLIfeBits, and Tripp's Thesis Project, now NASA's also interested in the videoblogging area:
NASA is interested in being able to take a device (i.e., a wearable computer) out into the field that, if there is a problem, video footage or photos could be taken and automatically uploaded to a server so that customers or managers could view it immediately. Lets say I have a problem out in the field and I'm two or three miles from my office. I have a camcorder or digital camera, and I have to go out there, take some footage or pictures, go back to my office, transfer it to my computer and then put it on the server where I can get to it, and finally go down to the conference room to show to my mangers. Instead, why not put something in the field that can take the video and automatically upload it to a server where it can be streamed out to a Web page, conference room, etc. Theoretically "in real time or near real time" a technician could be in the field working and a manager could see what's going on at the same time. The device we're working on would be able to accomplish this task.TechBriefs.com - News Center - Who's Who at NASA
