Lifecasting is a continual broadcast of events in a person's life through digital media. Typically, lifecasting is transmitted through the medium of the Internet and can involve wearable technology.〔(CNN: "Why Life as a cyborg is better", January 14, 2004. )〕〔"Intelligent Image Processing", by Steve Mann, John Wiley and Sons, 2001, 384pp〕〔Steve Mann, James Fung and Raymond Lo, "Cyborglogging with Camera Phones: Steps Toward Equiveillance", Proceedings of the ACM Multimedia 2006 , Santa Barbara, California, Oct. 23--27, 2006〕 Lifecasting reverses the concept of surveillance, giving rise to sousveillance through portability, personal experience capture, daily routines and interactive communication with viewers.〔Steve Mann, "Continuous lifelong capture of personal experience with EyeTap", keynote address, ACM International Multimedia Conference, Proceedings of the 1st ACM workshop on Continuous archival and retrieval of personal experiences (CARPE 2004), New York, New York, Oct. 15, 2004, p.1 - 21〕 Originally being called LifeLog or lifestreaming, during the summer of 2007, Justin Kan's term ''lifecasting'' escalated into general usage and became the accepted label of the movement. Other labels for lifecasting and related have occasionally surfaced, including ''cyborglog'', ''glog'', lifeblog, ''lifeglob'', ''livecasting'' and ''wearcam''. ==Precursors== Author William Gibson featured "God's Little Toy," a lifecasting mini-blimp, that followed subjects around—for their lives—in his 1999 novel ''All Tomorrow's Parties''. Jean-Luc Godard said, "Cinema is not a dream or a fantasy. It is life." In the pre-history of the lifecasting movement, the introduction of lightweight, portable cameras during the early 1960s, as used in the Cinéma vérité and Direct cinema movements, changed the nature of documentary filmmaking. Technological improvements in audio and the invention of smaller, less intrusive cameras brought about more naturalistic situations in documentary films by Robert Drew, Richard Leacock, the Maysles Brothers and others. While filmmakers such as Michel Auder, Jonas Mekas and Ed Pincus created cinematic diaries,〔(Tilove, Jonathan. "Pulled by Katrina, Documentarian Returns to the Front Lines of Film," Newhouse News Service, June 15, 2006. )〕 the sculptor Claes Oldenburg, in the early 1960s, had theatrical showings of his home movies. Andy Warhol, who once said, "I like boring things," introduced the notion that life could be captured simply by aiming a fixed camera at subjects usually regarded as "boring" and later projecting the unedited footage. The documentary filmmaker Emile de Antonio observed that “with any cut at all, objectivity fades away.” A milestone came in 1973 on PBS when ten million PBS viewers followed the lives of the Loud family each week on ''An American Family'', a documentary series often cited as the beginning of reality television. Six years later, the series was satirized by Albert Brooks in his first feature film, ''Real Life'' (1979). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lifecasting (video stream)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
