It’s been a while since Google’s AI-powered Clips camera was announced. Now, it’s officially launched and ready to save all your precious moments. The tiny camera is officially available for preorders and it starts shipping in a matter of days.
Google’s Clips camera quietly launched for preorders
In October 2017, Google announced Clips, a tiny camera that captures your daily life and keeps the most memorable moments. There was no word on availability, but it appears that Google has finally launched Clips for preorders, at least in certain countries.
Professional photographers help Google Clips capture “memorable moments”
Not long ago, Google introduced Clips, an AI-powered camera trained to capture the best moments of your life. It has no LCD screen and there’s only a shutter button, which is completely optional. Google Clips uses artificial intelligence to recognize and save your “perfect moments” itself. But how is it possible? According to Google, it’s because they hired “a documentary filmmaker, a photojournalist, and a fine arts photographer” to help train the camera’s neural network.
Google Clips puts AI inside a camera to pick the best moments to take a snap
We’ve all been hearing about AI tech that wants to tell us how good our shots are. Apple recently bought out Regaind to help critique our images. Adobe included something simialr in the newest version of Photoshop Elements 2018. Software solutions so far simply look at the thousands of shots you’ve already made. Google wants to cut out the middleman and put this functionality into the camera.
Google’s new “Clips” camera has quite a few bits missing. It has no LCD, and only one button, a shutter button. Although this button is entirely optional. You see, the camera has AI built into it that uses machine learning to recognise and learn faces. It then seeks out interesting moments to capture all by itself. A little creepy, but also pretty cool.
