PongCam is a wellbeing project that enables Media Lab ping pong players to save videos of their best ping pong shots on Youtube. The device is constantly capturing footage of the ping pong table, storing the most recent footage in a buffer. After a good shot, a player can hit a big red button and the last 30 seconds of footage will be uploaded to the Media Lab highlights reel on YouTube. We observe how devices of this sort promote mental and physical wellbeing in the Lab.
