For the past 6 months Tanagram has been working on a research grant from DARPA to develop a User Experience Model for Augmented Reality using Head Mounted Display Technology (HMD). We'll be sharing the outcome soon, but for now here is an amazing technology we are researching as a potential ingredient.

Vitamin D is a consumer ready video recording and management system. From their website:

"Our easy-to-use software brings professional-grade video monitoring to anyone with a webcam or network camera. Know exactly what you've missed without scanning hours of video."

Here is a video of Tim, Tanagram's Senior Design Technologist, turning down the annoying audio notifications I set up for each trigger event.

You have to play with this software. It will work with a Mac's built-in iSight camera.
