Agreed. It is just not clear what guarantees my privacy. This wouldn't strictly keep me from using it - perhaps in working environment - but I certainly would not use it in conjunction with personal aspects of my life.

Does this not raise privacy concerns similar to Google Glass? Is it not possible that people may be recorded without their knowing and without their permission?

Yes, and that's definitely an issue we're working on. At the very least we'll notify our users of the relevant privacy laws at their current location, and we'll always encourage people to let those around them know when Retrospect is turned on.

We'll always try to prevent people from being recorded without their knowledge, but in the end it comes down to what our users choose to do. Someone today could cause the same privacy violation by walking around with a tape recorder.
