Abstract

Recording indicators for head-mounted devices (HMDs) that provide protection from tampering so that the recording indicators cannot be easily disabled or masked. A recording indicator may be integrated in a lens of an HMD and may emit visible light from the lens into the environment when the camera is in record mode. The light is visible to persons within the field of view of the camera when in record mode. The recording indicator may emit a portion of the light towards the wearer's eye. Alternatively, instead of emitting light, a recording indicator may generate a mirrored or tinted region in the HMD lens that is visible to persons within the field of view of the camera when the camera is in record mode.
