You switch it off by putting it somewhere dark or flat (in your pocket, bag or on a table). If there was an on/off switch and you switched it off before going into a dressing room or similar setting where it's inappropriate to take photos, other people will still be uncomfortable. By making the the on/off switch equal to taking the camera off, we make people more comfortable with the concept of a wearable camera.
A similar line of though went into design of the camera itself. We made sure through user testing that most people recognizes it as being a camera, and not as something else. But also that it is subtle enough to not be distracting. It was a fine balance to find between the two, but with the current design most people find it appealing.

- martinkallstrom 14y agoIt takes a few frames for the camera to switch off. Even flat on your back it would be a one in a million chance that your camera ended up being perfectly still with the front axis aligned with the gravity vector for any prolonged period of time. You are breathing and shifting slightly even when relaxed.
