Fully-Auto Social Event Photographer

Here's another interesting automated camera concept. This device, and the camera, are able to automatically look around your social event and snap candid photos for you. So that YOU don't have to be stuck behind the camera, and miss all the interactions between your guests.

Very interesting idea. And it sounds like this camera will be on the market pretty soon.
