• These are my draft review on all State Of The Art implementations for my paper.
  • Active Badge.
  • Hackaday Belgrade/Supercon Badge.
  • Meme/Thinking Tag.
  • Memoto/Narrative Clip.
    • All interface is using gesture, (covering the camera, tapping, ...).
    • As advertised, this device has 2 days batteries life.
    • As I always monitor on how to get this device, it always out of stock.
    • Memoto/Narrative Clip started as a KickStarter project.
    • The 1st version of Narrative Clip only capable to take photo.
    • The 2nd version of Narrative Clip able to take, at default, 10 seconds video.
    • There are 2 version already for Narrative Clip.
    • There is not button for any Narrative Clip.
    • This device is automatically turned on when it has power to do so.
    • This is the currently available consumer solution for data gathering.
    • This is the successor to Vicon Revue and then went alongside with OMG Autographer. Both, Memoto and OMG Autographer was known in nearly in the same time to each other.
    • To take video, the default is by tapping twice at Memoto/Narrative Clip.
    • To turn off, just put Memoto/Narrative clip into your pocket. Or cover the lens. It has light sensor to detect whether it should goes on or off.
    • When this became consumer product it changed name from Memoto into Narrative Clip.
    • When this was still a KickStarter project, the project name is Memoto.
    • Data for the State Of The Art.
      • Year of origin: 2012.
      • Product name: Memoto/Narrative Clip.
      • Type: Commercial project.
      • Form: Clip.
      • Sense: Audio, light, location, motion, and video.
      • Wireless communication: Bluetooth, WiFi.
    • Links.
  • Microsoft Senscam/Vicon Revue.
    • It has a content management system to manage all data captured with this device.
    • It was first mentioned as a research project from Microsoft named as Microsoft SenseCam.
    • Its first iteration in 2001 was made with a PIC micro - controller.
    • Microsoft SenseCam/Vicon Revue connects via cable (I am not sure what cable it is) to mainstream personal computer.
    • Microsoft SenseCam/Vicon Revue has no wireless communication.
    • Then later, I think, the IP got bought by Vicon a high tech imaging company and then sold as Vicon Revue. It still retain the same functionalities, features, and form from the original Microsoft SenseCam.
    • This is the true lifelogging device.
    • Vicon Revue was priced around 770 USD in 2010.
    • Data for State Of The Art:
      • Year of origin: 2001.

  • New Relic Future Stack Badge.
    • Electric Imp is a stat of the art tools to connect every hardware to the Internet.
    • Electric Imp itself has an extensive administration panel web interface.
    • Electric Imp uses clever method to pair with common smart phone. It uses blink signal from smart phone screen to send shake hand code into the Electric Imp.
    • I think Ruby is the main programming language if you want to develop an IoT app with Electric Imp.
    • I think this was made so that many DIY people could later use data analytics services provided from New Relic.
    • It has Android and iOS communication as it is default in Electric Imp.
    • New Relic Future Stack Badge has a near field communication or NFC as its main wireless connection to transfer data between other New Relic Future Stack Badge.
    • New Relic Future Stack Badge is used to exchange contact information when tapped together. This is done using NFC.
    • New relic Future Stack Badge was made to be hackable in the first place.
    • New Relic Future Stack Badge was programmed in Ruby.
    • This wearable is made with Electric Imp.
    • This wearable technology comes from a company named New Relic.
    • Data for State Of The Art.
      • Year of origin: 2013.

  • nTag.
  • OMG Autographer.
    • I dubbed this as the smarter version of Narrative Clip.
    • It can be automatically taken photos based on inputs from its sensors.
    • It has built - in GPS.
    • It solution to privacy was to make the camera to be apparent to see for anyone that is not the wearer.
    • It uses Bluetooth.
    • OMG Autographer can make animated .gif directly from the device itself.
    • OMG Autographer has an extensive desktop application.
    • OMG Autographer is a middlemen between Vicon Revue and Memoto/Narrative Clip.
    • OMG Autographer is quite pricey for what it was trying to achieve. As general consumer device it was priced for 799 USD, although there were a point it reached 399 GBP, but it is still an expensive device.
    • OMG Autographer uses 136 degree wide angle lens for its camera.
    • The company is, sadly, closed.
    • The intention was as a general lifelogging device.
    • The most packed version for general lifelogging device.
    • The thing that I personally like is that OMG Autographer has a LED matrices user interface that greet the user. So, the wearer and anyone can see if this device is currently recording.
    • There are at least 5 known sensors.
    • There are other implementation as well, like for example for people with neuro degenerative diseases like Alzheimer to help them to develop their surrogate memory.
    • There is a motion sensor for both user and surrounding. For self, it uses accelerometer, for surrounding it uses PIR.
    • There is Android and iOS application.
    • Way better quality compared to Narrative Clip.

  • Queercon Badge.
  • Rhythm Open Badge.
    • I am not so sure on what kind of sensors it has. The part list does not show proper information. But, from the website, it says that Rhythm Open Badge is able to detect audio, presence, and proximity. The 2 latter ones are with Bluetooth.
    • I think Rhythm is the project name. Whereas Open Badge is the sub - project (the device name).
    • Rhythm Open Badge can be powered with a coin battery.
    • Rhythm Open Badge has 2 versions.
    • Rhythm Open Badge has limited amount of information aside from the website itself.
    • Rhythm Open Badge intended to study human real - life interactivity.
    • Rhythm Open Badge is the newest solution for open source Sociometric Badge.
    • Rhythm Open Badge project is promoted (or supervised) from the same person that initiates Sociometric Badge (Prof. Alex "Sandy" Pentland).
    • Sadly, the term "Open Badge" contradicts with what it is available from Mozilla Foundation's web based Open Badge that is completely unrelated to Rhythm Open Badge. Hence, I refer this as Rhythm Open Badge.
    • The 1st version of Rhyhtm Open Badge is developed using RFDuino. An Arduino compatible development board.
    • The 3rd version of Rhythm Open Badge is developed using NRF51 - DK. A development kit with built - in BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy).
    • The open-source hardware badges can be worn by participants around their necks or clipped to their clothing, and measures speaking activity and proximity to other badges.
    • The tutorial and the documentations are still incomplete.
    • The whole project is still ongoing.
    • There is a Google Hangout plug - in. However, Google Hangout is not available anymore.
    • There is a Python based server.
    • There is an Android application to test how Rhythm Open Badge works. However, the features is limited.
    • This project started on 21st January 2016. I know this from the first GitHub commit.

  • Sociometer.
  • Sociometric Badge.
    • Bluetooth is used to transfer data and for proximity detection.
    • Infrared transceiver is used to transfer ID of facing nearby Sociometric Badge. This is what it uses to detect face - to - face communication.
    • The closest lifelogging device has ever set in commercial market. Specifically more into corporate lifelogging device.
    • There are 2 iterations known. The 1st iteration was from 2008 whereas the latest iteration was ~2013 as commercial product from Humanyze.
    • This is the main topic for my project.

  • Spinner.
    • Spinner is a wristwatch for lifelogging.
    • Spinner uses RF to communicate with the static nodes.
    • Spinner uses WiFi to transfer data.
    • The different is those multi - modal sensors those are statically placed in a place.
    • The intention is to use Spinner as an automatic lifelogging.
    • The project overall goal is to make an automated entertainment.
    • The same creator with UbER Badge.
    • There is a gesture sensor, I think it is accelerometer.
    • There is a video "sensor" (multi - modal sensor) located as a static nodes.
    • There is audio "sensor" as well.
    • There is presence and location sensor. The location is a relative local positioning system with RF that is relative to the statically placed nodes.
