With everyone, and their Grandmother, now owning some sort of small HD video device, there is just no shortage of footage being captured. The problem is that 99% of that footage is just, plain boring. Thus, the new Holy Grail of personal video is auto editing devices, which claim to put your shots together utilizing some sort of artificial intelligence to cut out the soporific and keep the exciting.
Graava, a new concern, has debuted their take on the AI action camera, which claims to perform all the editing for you, using data it obtains through various sensors, while capturing your day. The Graava evaluates movement in the frame, sound, accelerometer, gyro sensor and even heart rate when Bluetoothed to your Apple Watch.
Sounds great right? However, the big question you have right now is: can I trust the Graava to make quality editing decisions?

With all this action there is one area that the Graava falls short, battery life. At only 3 hours, and without being able to change out the battery, the amount of footage is somewhat limited. However, this may be a small price to pay for not having to spend hours whittling down your takes.
The Graava costs $269 with shipping and is available now.
