You're correct. I should have worded it better. I meant "Stored" rather than recorded. Much like streaming a video has a temp file in your hard-drive while you're watching the stream, but which ceases to exist after a certain amount of time to prevent you from pirating the content by saving a copy.

Glasses should operate much the same way (if at all...as I said...I'd still prefer the not at all option.)

Think the issue is, practically speaking, we don't have a good track record of modeling precisely where the camera feed goes to decide if it is stored or not. Mobile OSes do present a more sophisticated permission structure that gets closer, but things are still too flexible to really comfortably assure that nothing that was a party to the feed didn't somehow store it.
