Telepresence frame puts a sadistic twist on digital photo frames

Previously, digital photo frames were pretty happy-go-lucky gadgets. A digital photo frame is a framed LCD screen that can cycle images of birthday parties, vacations, kids, pets and more. The Telepresence Frame takes the happy nature of digital photo frames and throws it right down the drain. This mod turns the frame into a human black box. It records and monitors all of the body's functions at the time of passing. After the human dies it will continue to repeat the vital statistics creating a so-called telepresence. In a way it is a nice way to remember a loved one, but on the other hand wouldn't pictures of the person in question be a a little less morbid?
