The special interest hereby is on the implications that arise from the ubiquitous presence of wearable computing devices capable of recording the environment of the wearer. Changes in the perception of privacy, in particular information privacy are discussed. The discussion reveals an ongoing debate with the conclusion that no clear influence on privacy has been identified. Further, no technological solution to the privacy dilemma has been found yet. It waits to be seen though whether privacy will develop to facilitate sousveillance in the future.
