A new self-editing video camera lets users "shoot first, edit never," said Sean O'Kane at The Verge. Graava is a wearable action camera that uses software to automatically edit footage, saving users the countless hours it takes to upload, review, and splice content together.
Graava's software wades through up to three hours of footage to find the most interesting recorded moments, based on movement, sound, location, and even the user's heart rate. Its software can also make edits "that match the beat of your favorite song" and instantly sync footage from other Graava cameras. The only problem? The camera isn't coming to market until early next year. Its makers might want to hurry; GPS-maker TomTom is currently developing a similar self-editing camera called Bandit. The Graava is available for preorder for $249, and will eventually retail for $399.
