News from Conflux , which ended yesterday, of an interesting experimental application for capturing and recording a visual record of one's life, Waymarkr. Designed for Series 60 cameraphones, Waymarkr captures images from a phone hanging in a pouch around the user's neck and transmits the images to a Nokia Lifeblog, allowing a sort of stop-motion view from a forward perspective of the user's daily interactions. The application was designed by Michael DelGaudio and Mike Bukhin.

One nice feature (data charges notwithstanding) is that Waymarkr pushes images up to the blog on an ongoing basis, thereby avoiding clogging up the phone's memory with images.

Waymarkr sets can be viewed here.  The application also maps where images were taken through geotagging, creating not only a visual record of your day, but a geographic one as well, which makes me think perhaps they should tie up with Plazer somehow to fold the imaging and location data together.

Smartspace is a new blog about annotated environments, intelligent infrastructure and digital landscapes--the merging of technology with the environment around us, and the overlay of digital environments on the physical ones we inhabit. This includes discussions, observations and insights on ubiquitous and embedded computing, mapping, location-based services and locative technologies, surveillance and tracking, geotagging, smart homes, intelligent environments, the annotated reality, and virtual worlds, where the increasingly intersect with the physical.
