Beyond the Selfie: How This AI Wearable Camera Wants to Become Your Digital Memory

Artificial intelligence is increasingly becoming part of our daily lives, but one startup believes AI can do more than answer questions or generate content—it can help people preserve and relive their life experiences.

At BEYOND Expo 2026, Entrepreneur News Network (ENN) met with Declan, who showcased an innovative AI-powered wearable camera designed to automatically capture moments throughout the day. Unlike traditional action cameras that focus on recording continuous video, the device captures photos, audio, location data, and contextual information, creating what the company describes as a digital memory companion.

Positioned as a lifestyle technology product, the wearable aims to help users document journeys, create content for social media, and preserve meaningful experiences without constantly reaching for their smartphones.

In this exclusive conversation with ENN at BEYOND Expo 2026, Declan discusses the inspiration behind the product, how it differs from conventional cameras, the role of AI in enhancing memories, fundraising plans, and why the company believes wearable technology will play a bigger role in the future of content creation.

Q. Tell us about your product and what inspired its creation.

Declan: Our product is essentially an outdoor wearable camera designed to help people capture their daily experiences in a much smarter way. It can automatically record photos, audio, and location information while working continuously throughout the day.

We wanted to create something that goes beyond simply taking pictures. The idea is to help people build a digital memory of their journey without needing to constantly pull out a phone or manually document everything.

Q. Many people may compare it to a GoPro. How is your product different?

Declan: We focus on a completely different use case. GoPro is mainly designed for recording videos, especially action footage.

Our device is designed to capture moments throughout the day. Instead of continuously recording video, it takes photos at regular intervals and combines them with contextual information such as audio recordings and location data.

The goal is not action recording. It’s about helping users remember and relive experiences.

Q. One of the most interesting features you demonstrated was how the device combines photos, descriptions, audio, and location data. How does that work?

Declan: Everything is connected through our mobile application. Users simply wear the device and go about their day.

The camera automatically captures moments, while the app organizes those moments into a timeline that includes photos, audio notes, and location information. It creates a much richer story of your journey compared to traditional photography.

You don’t need to manually activate these features. The experience is designed to be seamless.

Q. Will the application be available on both Android and iOS?

Declan: Yes. We are preparing to launch the application on both Google Play Store and Apple’s App Store, making it accessible to users across both major mobile platforms.

Q. Have you raised funding for the company so far?

Declan: Yes, we have already completed our first round of funding and secured investment to help us develop the product further and prepare for market expansion.

Q. Are you planning to raise additional capital?

Declan: Absolutely. We are continuing to grow and expand. Next month, we will be launching a completely new demonstration version of our product in Paris, France.

As we scale internationally, we expect additional funding opportunities to support our growth plans.

Q. If someone wants to purchase the device today, how can they do that?

Declan: Customers can purchase directly through our website.

Our initial focus is on key international markets, including the United States and Japan, and we plan to continue expanding our global reach.

Q. What is the expected retail price?

Declan: We want to make the product accessible to a wide audience, so our target price is approximately US$150.

We believe this offers a strong balance between affordability and advanced AI-powered functionality.

Q. Your company describes itself as a lifestyle technology company. What does that mean?

Declan: We believe technology should improve people’s everyday lives.

Our goal is not simply to sell hardware. We want people to use our products to create better memories, capture more meaningful experiences, and share interesting content with friends, family, and their communities.

That’s why we call ourselves a lifestyle technology company.

Q. Is social media a major use case for the product?

Declan: Definitely.

Whether you’re using Instagram, TikTok, or any other social platform, people love sharing experiences and stories.

Our product helps users automatically capture those moments and turn them into content they can easily revisit and share.

Anyone active on social media can benefit from having a device that helps document their life more naturally.

Q. Can you tell us about the camera quality and image resolution?

Declan: Our focus is not only on hardware resolution but also on software enhancement.

We use AI algorithms to improve image quality and optimize the photos users receive. While the device captures images efficiently throughout the day, our AI technology helps enhance and refine the final output.

As our technology evolves, image quality will continue to improve through software and AI advancements.

Q. Looking ahead, what is your long-term vision for the company?

Declan: We believe the future of personal technology is about helping people remember and understand their lives better.

Our vision is to combine AI, wearable technology, and storytelling to create products that make life more enjoyable, more memorable, and more connected.

Ultimately, we want to help people create better memories and live richer experiences.

Closing Thoughts

As AI moves beyond productivity tools and enters the world of personal storytelling, companies like this are exploring new ways to capture and preserve human experiences. By combining wearable technology, artificial intelligence, and social sharing, the startup is betting that the next evolution of content creation won’t happen on a screen—it will happen seamlessly in the background of everyday life.

With a planned launch across global markets and an ambitious roadmap ahead, the company is positioning itself at the intersection of AI, lifestyle technology, and the creator economy.
