Wow thank you for the well written article.

I’ve tried an app called 1SE which stands for “1 second everyday” and has you capture regular, phone camera style a 1-sec video or picture and then it groups into a playback for the year. It was fun but doing it with glasses would def be easier.

Related to the sci-fi, actually have a book idea I’ve been trying to write for a couple decades about the memory storage technology. Eventually I will. More of a dystopian twist for sure.

Thanks for sharing your experience

The Shiny Dime for me is that these resolve the tension between immersion and capture. I always think of being present in the moment and capturing the moment as mutually exclusive. But you make a strong case that it might not be case.

I've spent the past few years turning my camera on, putting my phone down, and forgetting it for long minutes. I don't try to capture the visuals; I want to remember the ambience. I think I started doing this after hanging out with smart, high people. I needed to store their conversations somewhere. Sometimes, I prop my phone and catch a weird angle. Rewatching it gives a new perspective on the same night.

That was a long way to say I need these Ray-Bans.
