When it comes to size, style, price and tech capabilities, these wearable cameras fall somewhere in between the classic camera with a strap that you can put around your neck and the hi-tech Google Glass. These cameras and accessories are made so that they can be easily strapped onto heads, torsos or other parts of the body, leaving the wearer’s hands completely free. As well as this freedom, these wearable cameras also help to make photo and video content much more dynamic when it comes to storytelling from a first person perspective.
Some people seem to have concerns about privacy and Google Glass, since it may be unclear when you’re recording your surroundings. A few of these cameras are so small, they’re difficult to detect and will definitely make you feel like a stealthy super spy.
