StartleCam is another sensor-triggered wearable camera. It uses multiple skin conductivity sensors worn on the fingers. The sensors are used to detect the startle response in the wearer, and save the recently captured images, which will presumably be of events that aroused the user’s attention.

A system called u-Photo extends the action of picture taking to also include capturing the state of devices and sensor values in the camera’s view. LED tags are placed on objects to determine if they are in view. For instance, a picture of a room may also record the information that the lights are on, that the temperature is seventy-four degrees, and that a movie is playing at a certain point.
