Description

Wanting to give the camera the physical attribute of suspicion, the camera is built on a rig that controls its motion. With facetracking software, it turns towards faces, capturing and displaying those images. It stops hiding behind darkened glass, and lets the surveilled know what it's doing.

Description

This project is a part of Surveillance Documentary class. People usually take pictures when they want to record impressive views and situations. However, it takes few seconds to decide to take pictures and people easily miss the right moments because of the hesitation.

Mind Reading Camera allows users take pictures about their daily lives like a documentary photography. This application detects the movement of users by checking sensor values inside of Google Glass. When users see taken pictures, they would be surprised because the pictures show memorable scenes of them.

I want to take the same viewpoint as people look at with their eyes and google glass allows users shot their point of view.
