This is cool - a camera dock that can tilt and rotate by itself, as well as automatically take pictures.

While we're waiting for full-on robots to put our human paparazzi out of work, Sony gives us a kind of middle step with the introduction of the Party-Shot personal photographer. The camera dock, designed to work with the DSC-WX1 and DSC-TX1 Cyber-shot digital cameras, can be programmed to tilt up to 24 degrees and pan a full 360 degrees.
In addition to the automatic angle adjustments, the unit can also detect faces and then take a well composed photo. Priced at $150, Sony plans to make the device available in September, in the meantime you can see the Party-Shot in action here.
So if you had this at a party, it would take pictures whenever it saw faces, or something.
I watched the video. It's a bit uncanny if it really is that intuitive for the zoom and framing. And I wonder what it's like to be at a party with random flashes going off. Would the annoyance factor be high? That said, DUDE! How cool would that be to have for Prom and hospitality suite!?!? Oh the incriminating fun photos that could be snapped.

I think we'd need to hand out the incognito glasses first.
Those glasses are awesome!
