- SenseCam es una diminuta cámara que han desarrollado los laboratorios de investigación de Microsoft en Cambridge (Reino Unido) en 1999, que permite tomar registro de todas las actividades cotidianas, creando así una especie de diario digital consultable en todo momento. Lyndsay Williams inventó el concepto de SenseCam y construyó los primeros prototipos con la ayuda de James Srinivasan y Trevor Taylor. A medida que el proyecto ha crecido, un gran número de personas de Microsoft Research han participado en diversos aspectos de experimentación, evaluación y desarrollo del hardware y el software. Estos incluyen Emma Berry, Georgina Browne, Alex Butler, Rowanne Fleck, Andrew Fogg, Richard Harper, Steve Hodges, Shahram Izadi, Matt Lee, Mike Massimi, Narinder Kapur, Dave Randall, Alban Rrustemi, James Scott, Abigail Sellen, Smyth y Gavin Ken Wood.Lyndsay Williams, líder del proyecto, presentó la SenseCam en el TechFest, un evento anual donde los desarrolladores que trabajan para Bill Gates presentan sus investigaciones más relevantes.

- Microsoft's SenseCam is a lifelogging camera with fisheye lens and trigger sensors, such as accelerometers, heat sensing, and audio, invented by , patent granted in 2009. Usually worn around the neck, Sensecam is used for the MyLifeBits project, a lifetime storage database. Early developers were James Srinivasan and Trevor Taylor. Earlier work on neck-worn sensor cameras with fisheye lenses was done by Steve Mann, and published in 2001. Microsoft Sensecam as well as Mann's earlier sensor cameras, and subsequent similar products like Autographer, and the Narrative Clip, are all examples of Wearable Computing. Wearable neck-worn cameras contribute to an easier way of collecting and indexing one's daily experiences by unobtrusively taking photographs whenever the internal sensor is triggered by a change in temperature, movement, or lighting. The Sensecam is also equipped with an accelerometer, which is used to trigger images and can also stabilise images so as to reduce blurriness. The camera is usually worn around the neck via a lanyard. The photos represent almost every experience of its wearer's day. They are taken via a wide-angle lens in order to capture an image that is likely to contain most of what the wearer can see. The SenseCam uses a flash memory which has the means to store upwards of 2,000 photos per day as .jpg files, though more recent models with larger and faster memory cards mean a wearer typically stores up to 4,000 images per day. These files can then be uploaded and automatically viewed as a daily movie, which can be easily reviewed and indexed using a custom viewer application running on a PC. It is possible to replay the images from a single day in as little as a few minutes. An alternative way of viewing images is to have a day's worth of data automatically segmented into 'events' and to use an event-based browser which can view each event (of 50, 100 or more individual SenseCam images) using a keyframe chosen as a representative of that event. SenseCams have mostly been used in medical applications, particularly to aid those with poor memory as a result of disease or brain trauma. Several studies have been published by Chris Moulin, Aiden R. Doherty and Alan F. Smeaton showing how reviewing one's SenseCam images can lead to what Martin A. Conway, a memory researcher from the University of Leeds, calls "Proustian moments", characterised as floods of recalled details of some event in the past. SenseCams have also been used in lifelogging, and one researcher at Dublin City University, Ireland, has been wearing a SenseCam for most of his waking hours, since 2006, and has generated over 13 million SenseCam images of his life. In October 2009, SenseCam technology was adopted by Vicon Revue and is now available as a product. There is a wiki dedicated to SenseCam technical issues, software, news, and various research activities and publications about, and using, SenseCam. (en)
- Microsoft SenseCam è un dispositivo sviluppato da Microsoft ed utilizzato nel progetto MyLifeBits; lo strumento è una sorta di fotocamera che si può portare al collo, e che può scattare fotografie in maniera automatica, registrando così ogni spostamento e ogni immagine vista dall'individuo che la indossa. La cattura delle immagini può essere sia regolata automaticamente, sia attivata da sensori che percepiscono variazioni di luce o di calore (ad esempio, scattando una foto quando si avvicina o si incontra una persona). Lo strumento è stato sviluppato a partire dal 1999 da Lyndsay Williams, ricercatore presso il centro Microsoft Research di Cambridge. SenseCam è stata usata da George Bell per il progetto MyLifeBits, e prevede utilizzi quali l'essere d'aiuto a persone che soffrono di disturbi della memoria come la malattia di Alzheimer; l'efficacia di tale utilizzo è stato confermato dalla ricerca della neuropsichiatra Emma Berry, dell'università di Addenbrooke, che in uno studio pubblicato sul Journal of Neurology ha descritto i miglioramenti avuti da una paziente grazie all'uso della SenseCam Nel 2009 la società Vicom ha rilevato la licenza di SenseCam da Microsoft, e prevede di produrre e mettere in vendita tali strumenti a partire dal 2010.
