Personal Life Recorders
From The Transhumanist Wiki
Short quick description: This section will investigate the possibilities and technical hurdles of producing wearable computing devices that will begin storing human sensory information. This is an important step closer to superhumans. Please bring your ideas to this section.
Things to consider:
- Availability of lifelong sensory data
- Social Implications / Ethics
- Existing Projects
- Integration with AI
- plenty more?
A primary goal of this Personal Life Recorders section is to develop a Personal Life Recorders/WorkingPrototype device whose design and code would be free and open to the public. As of now, this is a far away reality. Though, through the efforts that will be documented here it can occur. This process will cover the many methods of sensory recording and should design prototypes for audio only or video only or location only or mixed or etc. The idea is to cover everything, make them work, then integrate. Although, this is practically a pet project of Nick Warner, all input and ideas are extremely encouraged. Here is the start of the outline of the project, ideally these will be forked off to their own pages someday:
[edit] Goals
- comfortable, wearable device
- minimal user interaction (it just does its job)
- minimal hardware on the person
- network/internet downloads data wirelessly from device when available
- therefore heavy processing can occur on home computers
[edit] Data Plan
Sensory Inputs to Record
- audio
- video
- temperature
- time/date
- GPS location
- other?
Post-Processed Data
- speech to text conversion
- person/object identification
[edit] Realtime Functions
Active Data Feedback
- i.e. "computer, what did I just say?" or "computer, where am I?"
- delivery through on-device speakers/video projections
Community Connection
- i.e. "Computer, who was there?", "Computer, who is here?"
