True life Truman show

Every movement, gurgle and chuckle made by a baby in the first three years of its life is being recorded by a scientist in the US.

Professor Deb Roy of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is recording his son's development to shed light on how babies acquire language.

The Human Speechome Project, as it is known, uses cameras and microphones installed in the scientist's home.

The project will eventually gather 400,000 hours of material.

"As every proud parent knows, there's no such thing as too many images and videos you can take of your newborn," Professor Roy told a press conference.

"I think we're taking this to a whole new level."
