[ ] Face cam

Those of us in the FreeCam community have been dreaming of something like this for a long time.



What's the FreeCam community?


It's entirely fictitious – it was an attempt on my part to use satire to bring attention the various products in market designed to passively capture and record video.

If such a community were to exist I'd imagine they'd fit somewhere in the Venn diagram between smart-home enthusiasts and the quantified-self movement. Apologies for misleading you!


Google Glass offered customers a face-mounted camera in 2013. Snapchat released their Spectacles in 2016. This is not a novel concept, even in the consumer electronics space, to say nothing of Steve Mann's work which stretches back decades.
