Cat-blogging
Tuesday, June 1st, 2010 06:58 pmCut out the middle ape! Let your cat blog! Or at least Twitter ...
[Sony's] lifelogging device, which was prototyped in collaboration with the University of Tokyo, is equipped with a camera, an acceleration sensor, a GPS, etc to record the activities of a cat. Using the data collected by the acceleration sensor, etc, the device deduces the activities of a cat such as walking, sleeping and eating. The device can be used with the Twitter service and automatically posts comments in accordance with the activities.
But the really scary thing?
the device has a function to recognize other cats' faces taken by the camera embedded in the device. Sony CSL realized this function by using the facial images of several thousands* of cats that are available on the Internet as reference data
What, like ( this one? )
