Google Clips Automatically Takes Pictures for You

It’s one of the cruelest rules of photography. You want to capture something spontaneous filled with real emotion but the second you take out your camera or phone that realness evaporates. You’re left with awkward smiles and poses. Google wants to change that with Clips. Clips is a camera, but it works differently than any point-and-shoot device you’ve used. Clips learns the faces that are important to you and captures “motion photos” (can we just call these videos?) when those important people are around. You can clip it on your clothing or set it on a table and it will do its work without any assistance. Not only that, it’s clever enough to recognize great expressions, the right lighting, and proper framing, and it only gets smarter with use. Say goodbye to “Cheese!”
