Wireless technology is getting pretty
cheap
and ubiquitous, so this idea supposes
that
every video camera is wireless-enabled.
Then, as I walk around the street the
wireless PDA in my pocket picks up
snatches of video from cameras I get
close
to - security cameras, cameras on show
in
the windows of technology shops,
cameras
being operated by inept tourists,
etc.
The resulting footage will
show all the places I've been to during
the
day from a variety of viewpoints and if
some of the cameras were pointing in my
direction, quite a lot of footage of me.

Is more hippo visibility a good thing? Or are you actually subtly suggesting that we need better discrete channel encryption dedicated to our wireless devices so that there is less potential for overlap and local interference? |

This would be particularly useful in touristy locations: in front of famous buildings and scenic views, etc. You carry your recorder in your pocket, stand in front of the camera and smile as it wirelessly sends you a copy of your picture. No more having to hand your camera to a stranger and ask him to take your picture, which is risky in some countries and probably considered rude in others. |

Me TV! There is a certain simplicity and logic to this idea which dissuades me from pointing out any of the drawbacks. |

I don't care if anyone sees me or not. + |

But, if you watched yourself on a handheld tv reciever, you could watch yourself watching yourself, watching yourself.... |

Interesting as it could be used by the police force in conjuction with the dashboard videocameras in larger cities. More cameras = more evidence. |

[wagster] Thanks. What higher
compliment is there here? |
|

Actually why don't we forget ideas like this and just ban public surveillance cameras completely? Or would all of you prefer to live in a police state? |

Fantastic. Could also help to find where I left my sunglasses. <searches through today's footage>Ah. There they are... on my forehead</sttf> |

My I wonder why so many tourists are hanging around outside the gates of the nudist colony today. Come to think of it, every day this week. |
