HP Experiments with 'Always On' Camera
An anonymous reader writes "Hewlett-Packard researchers in the U.K. are working on a camera that's always on, recording everything you see and letting you go back later and decide what's actually photo-worthy. Raises some serious privacy questions. But as an HP researcher notes, "If your wearable camera is always on ... you're not going to miss any moments, but you're also going to get a load of junk.""
Unless your wife is some kind of Montana rancher--like, she has a job, or she goes shopping, or does anything whatsoever involving stepping onto the property of some corporation, she's probably being already being photographed on a regular basis by surveillance cameras without even knowing it. The only difference is that now everyone can do it, not just businesses. IMHO, that's a very good thing.
