DESCRIPTION
In short, our relationship with the camera, the lens is evolving. The static stance of capturing a moment in a photograph is still there, but this is rapidly changing. Imaging is getting ubiquitous and pervasive. Pulling photographs after the moment from a vast amount of computer captured images is not far off in the future. Artificial Intelligence will help us select the best pictures. Taking pictures has also been augmented. This artificial way of seeing things is becoming our ‘third eye’. Just like our own eyes view and build an image and its context through our minds, so too does this ‘third eye’ create extra context and builds a augmented view through an external mind powered by an intelligent grid of sensors and data. An imaging mind. And this is what we are chasing at Imaging Mind. All the roads, all the routes, all the shortcuts (and the marshes, bogs and sandpits) that lead to finding this imaging mind. To understand the imaging mind, is to understand the future. And to get there we need to do a lot of exploring. So, care to join? We can always use another pair of eyes.

Your PerspectiveAreas we’d like to explore further on QSE2014
• Finding more context in images
• Combining multiple imaging data sets
• Surveillance and the Quantified Self
• New social norms
Please discuss with us at bit.ly/qsforum topic ‘Imaging Mind’
Challenging ThoughtWhat if ‘trackies’ connect to this emerging grid and voluntarily contribute their visual ambient data?
• What are the limitations, requirements with regards to interpreting and showing this information to third parties?
• How would such a grid work and what are the give and takes form the user perspective?
