Description of Design

short version: Imagine that every news bulletin is sent live.. Think of always having a reporter at any scene.. People reporting not from outside but directly from the action.. The onea cam is a thing to video-record and blog for a web site. But one of the main strength is to keep your files in order. Any file you send to the server will be processed and data, that is use to categorize the films and photos will be extracted. With this feature it is possible to find, seek and share your files with other peoples files and anyone will get to the demanded result. A decentralized net base of data can be created by using all data from all users. News can be associated directly with other people who were at the scene. Feel peoples emotions and take part in their life&Mac183; react on problems and find new solutions hundreds of miles away.. find new business partners.. Chat with your friends form abroad.. long version: Imagine that every news bulletin is sent live.. Think of always having a reporter at any scene.. People reporting not from outside but directly from the action.. Feel peoples emotions and take part in their life&Mac183; react on problems and find new solutions hundreds of miles away.. Think of your friend hiking up a mountain, and while you chat with him, he suddenly turns around the cam and you both see how a paraglider races only some feet above his head, out into the gigantic valley.. And maybe this spot will be used in your next sports film.. The possible scenes happen everyday. Adventures are live and instantly on the net or on TV Moments should be kept for future.. with this gadget you can. The main idea of the „onea cam‰ was that there should be a possibility to communicate.. somehow communication one-to-one, but also making a photo-diary on your web site or blogging insider news about a certain city in the world. It should be possible to comfortably write some sentences without having to carry a keyboard all day.. Maybe you want to cut a video scene with tool that is easy to use.. All these and more ideas are behind the cam. On the other hand it is important categorize and store data in a good way. On the one hand, a Picture or Sound file called „DSCN00032842.jpg‰ doesn't&Mac226;t help, on the other side it would take almost forever to rename everything to „me-and-christina-walking-in-the-park.jpg‰. Another Problem is that it is not possible to find a file ever again. The solution is that computers and server shall associate pictures and other files with data they can get: there is much data available that can be used.. Lets start with normal things like time, weather and light, the place where the picture was taken, angel and direction but also sound level, and music can be used. It is possible to write scripts that can process movies and sound files and categorize them. It is possible to associate faces, cars, speed, ordinary things like computers or doors. And many more data can be extracted for the material. A decentralized net base of data can be created by using all data and creating a kind of meta-file to any of these objects, it is possible to link your films with peoples films who where at the same time at the same place. You can get several views of one scene. It associates files that were created weeks, or even months ago. The news will no more be made by one reporter, TV stations just choose the best report. Any viewer can get more information about one topic, from many sides.. As a last aspect it shall be possible to just blog your life on your web site, make some photos or share your ideas with other people. Possibly your are somewhere in Russia or Australia and someone wants to get info from that exact place in the world.. if your online-status is „free-for-chat‰ your&Mac226;re getting a ring and talk with people around the globe. Only telepathy would have more speed..
