Systems and methods for identifying potentially interesting events in extended recordings

A method comprising:

• providing a trigger including a set of one or more trigger conditions, satisfaction of each trigger condition being based on sensor data to be received, the set of trigger conditions created prior to occurrence of an activity to be recorded and satisfaction of which causing recorded portions of one or more events that occur during the activity and that correspond to actual sensor data received during the activity to be included automatically in an edited version of a recording of the activity;
• receiving the actual sensor data from one or more sensors, the actual sensor data being generated substantially contemporaneously with recording of the activity;
• determining whether at least one trigger condition of the set of trigger conditions has been satisfied based on the actual sensor data;
• identifying a potentially interesting event within the recording of the activity based on the satisfied at least one trigger condition;
• and
• editing the recording of the activity to create the edited version of the recording that includes the potentially interesting event automatically due to the actual sensor data satisfying the set of trigger conditions.
