The big thing at Sony these days is concept products that are designed to gauge consumer interest prior to any official commitment. The Sony Xperia Eye is one such product. Daniel Cooper writes the Xperia Eye is:

 a wide-angle lens camera that you can hang from your neck and looks pretty much like Autographer’s life-logging camera. Unlike its rivals, however, the Eye is packing Sony’s fancy image sensors and a 360-degree spherical lens. Sony is promising that it’ll be smart enough to know when to take a shot (from your voice and other people’s facial expressions) so you don’t have to think about using it 

While an interesting concept, even if not unique, it’s certainly a niche product at best. I can’t imagine that many people will want to dangle something around their neck or connect it to their clothing in hopes that if something interesting were to happen around them, they’ve been able to capture it. Since this product is still in the concept stages, other details like tech specs remain illusive.
