Abstract

An apparatus may include a memory to store a recorded video. The apparatus may further include an interface to receive at least one set of sensor information based on sensor data that is recorded concurrently with the recorded video and a video clip creation module to identify a sensor event from the at least one set of sensor information and to generate a video clip based upon the sensor event, the video clip comprising video content from the recorded video that is synchronized to the sensor event.
