SensorOn: A Status-Light Standard for Camera Wearables
SensorOn proposes an open, testable four-state light language for smart glasses, camera earbuds, pendants, and other camera-bearing wearables.
Field notes
The draft maps four sensor states to distinct lamp behaviors, including a dim green pulse for sensing without retention and blinking red when a moment may persist. Its scope extends beyond cameras to microphones, depth and ranging sensors, motion sensors, and location, while its conformance model separates bench-verifiable photometry and timing from laboratory verification of retention claims. The page also exposes a state-cycle demo and links the specification to a GitHub repository and named technical references.
