> Right now people have to point their phone cameras at at the thing they're photographing

I mean, that really isn't true. There have been wearable and carryable hidden cameras for ages and we also have 360 cameras that no longer need to be pointed at what they are capturing.

This isn't changing anything about what is available to purchase, and if anything, these are relatively more obvious.

The actual change would be, that if these become widely adopted, those types of cameras would be everywhere.

You're right, it's possible and common to be recorded without somebody pointing a phone camera at you. That doesn't negate my point, right now the norm is that in many situations you _can_ record to your personal device without informed consent but you shouldn't. That will change if these types of cameras are everywhere.
