I love LUCI: This lifelogging camera pin seriously impressed me at CES

The last thing I came across at this year's CES was LUCI, an AI-powered wearable video camera created by OpenInterX for lifelogging and vlogging. Tucked away in a quiet corner of the convention center, LUCI felt like a hidden gem waiting to be uncovered. It might be my favorite discovery at CES 2025 — and I nearly missed it. Extended recording time The LUCI Pin is a compact square pinnable wearable device with an ultra-wide 12MP camera that captures up to 4K video. Unlike other wearables with a built-in camera, like the Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses, LUCI can shoot video for an extended period of time. By comparison, Meta's smart glasses can only record videos up to 3 minutes long. On the other hand, the LUCI Pin can record or livestream up to 4 hours of video, according to OpenInterX.

As a parent, it's easy to see the draw of the LUCI Pin. You want to both capture a special moment and enjoy it without having your face looking through a screen. Processing power According to OpenInterX founder Shawn Shen, many of the recording limitations in other camera products are essentially due to too much processing happening within the device, which causes the camera's sensors to overheat. The LUCI Pin tackles this issue by processing it on your smartphone or an optional secondary add-on device called the LUCI Hub. The Hub is a square smartphone-sized computer that acts as a dedicated processo
