Wearable necklace camera concept records what you see

Ben Elton once quipped that by the year 2050 everyone will be either a popstar or in their own reality TV show. Whether or not the social trend holds, the rate at which electronic storage, wireless transmission and lens technology are developing means it could be technically feasible - and Johan Frossen's wearable video camera concept developed in conjunction with Sony Ericsson, shows that we might not even have to wait until 2050 for it to happen.Frossen has designed a wearable fish-eye camera and microphone that wirelessly transmit data to the user's mobile phone for storage. The device rests on either the neck or the head and the adjustable, padded arms ensure it will be a comfortable fit. Comfort is a very important part of the design, as Frossen was partly inspired by the awkwardness people feel when wielding cameras.

Frossen's camera design works around the user, automatically capturing whatever the wearer is facing and requiring no input at all so that you can still take part in the events you are recording.
