Building your own LifeCam with a Nokia, Timed Spy, ShoZu and Flickr

Link: On TV – The Gadget Show

Alex caught this on TV last night. I was watching Spooks 😉

So Jason decided to do his bit to expose himself, so to speak, and build the world’s very first Life Cam.

The concept of Life Cam is to create a device capable of taking an image every 30 seconds. That’s 2880 photos a day, or over 20 thousand a week. And more importantly Jason wants to create a device that will take the picture and upload it to the internet so you can watch his life happening in real time.

Very cool. On Channel 5 no less!

Alex summarises thus:

Jason was taking pics every 30 seconds using a Symbian app called ‘Timed Spy’, then using ShoZu to automatically upload it to Flickr.
They also recommended T-Mobile’s ‘Web ‘n’Walk’ tariff to do all the uploading, and had a thing called a Juice Bag – which was in essence a solar panel-covered rucksack – to stop his phone running out of juice on the go.

OK so not technically SMS related, but nice to see all this stuff covered on mainstream media.

Very cool indeed.
