Peeps, as nostalgic sweets lovers may recall, got their start with those iconic yellow marshmallow chicks for Easter.

Autographer Intelligent Wearable Camera Gets Accessorized With New Mount Adapter


Wearable Technology



Stay tuned for an in-depth Autographer review soon

Wearable technology made a huge splash at the beginning of this year at International CES, so did the nascent product niche of lifelogging devices. In fact, I first got to touch and see the Autographer, the world's first intelligent wearable cameraat this must-attend consumer electronics annual event. This is one cool hands-free piece of technology that was initially designed to be worn around the neck or to be clipped to your clothing or belt to automatically snap as many as 2000 images throughout the day with its 136-degree wide-angle camera lens.

As of today, there's some more exciting news from the British company that invented this first-in-class consumer electronics product. Thanks to the new Autographer Mount Adapter, now you can not only wear this camera to capture all of life's spontaneous special moments. You can also securely and confidently connect this camera to a variety of third party mount accessories including tripods, bike mounts, window mounts and even bottle mounts. Just think... lifelogging literally takes on a whole new perspective (actually many new perspectives) with this brand new accessory.

“Great things happen when you’re least expecting it and some of the most treasured moments are rarely captured with standard cameras. We created the Mount Adapter for Autographer to help people record even more of these moments as naturally and spontaneously as they happen,” said Simon Randall, managing director of Autographer. 

Anyone seeking to digitally capture those "I wish I could have gotten that shot" moments is going to appreciate the Autographer camera. But, as a mom or dad, just think of the expanded possibilities this camera now has, especially when used with the new adapter now offered.

You'll be able to document every day family activities like dinner table conversations complete with spilt milk, if your table is anything like ours used to be when my kids were little. You will also have the ability to capture all those momentous occasions such as your child taking his/her first steps or learning to ride a bicycle -- as well as the really big events in life like graduations, weddings and much more.

The new Autographer Mount Adapter is available now for $50 from www.autographer.com

About Autographer
