Momenta: The Microsoft parasite-like computer that attaches to your neck

February 22, 2008 by Kiltak |

Momenta, one of the finalists in Microsoft’s 2007-08 Next-Gen PC design competition, is a personal computer that attaches to your neck and records what it considers as “the most memorable moments of your life”. The device works by monitoring your heart rate, and as soon as it detects some kind of excitement in your day, it start to record the moment in an active buffer, Cloverfield-style. Here are a few additional pictures of the thing, for your viewing pleasure.

The competition also features a lot of other interesting entries. I invite you to check them all out.

I heard that when it nears its storage limits, it lays eggs in the user’s throat that hatch into bio-RAM flash cysts that grow in your veins.

It seems like a good idea, until you go to a party and everyone there is wearing these. Lets just hope they dont come with an “upload to youtube” button.
