Have you perhaps considered that recording people unobtrusively without their consent may be unethical or, at the minimum, rude?
If you are in public, you have no right to privacy. Anyone can record you. You don't have to be overtly recording all of your interactions but there is nothing unethical about recording everything you see in public.
Isn't this just a fancy name for "reverse" surveillance?
No. Sousveillance is possible without intent to observe the surveillance mechanisms in place. Go to a festival, these days, with the plethora of cameras (on phones or standalone, video or still) and people are participating in sousveillance (though likely not deliberately or recognizing it as such). They aren't watching the police or other observers. They're just particpating and recording the event itself.
without intent seems like it should just be called "watching" or "recording". also does it stop being called "Sousveillance" if done on a plane? or hiking above a certain altitude?
we are very interested in pulling data from "accidental" surveillance.

Of course, only those blessed with good vision and memory should be able to have a visual record of their life :/ I can't wait for a chip that records everything I ever see so that I don't have to rely on flaky human memory.
Could be a double-edged sword. Have you seen Black Mirror -- first series, episode 3?
This reminds me of the old YouTube art project "Surveillance Camera Man". Since taken off YouTube, but you can still find mirrors. https://archive.org/details/SurveillanceCameraMan18
Video ends when police officer asks me to stop filming because of a rule about not filming in meat wagons that he just invented, and I agree. Later outside of the meat wagon he told me to delete a video. I asked him if I understood correctly that my recording was illegal action and he wanted me to destroy an evidence of that illegal action. Immediately four other policemen lifted me up and carried in their hands to the police station, put me in separate room, confiscated my phone and documents, and then he punched me in the kidneys.
That room apparently was the only one in a police station without surveillance cameras.
I spend the rest of the day in a special unventilated cage covered with lists of acrylic glass together with a guy who later was carried away by an ambulance because there was not enough air for two people in the cage.
Police hard reset my phone but probably because they were idiots and I use Windows Phone a microSD card with all my video was left intact.
I was fined by 1000₽ by Russian court which watched the video I recorded and found not enough evidence of me being innocent on the base of the reports written by completely different police officers instead of these I filmed detaining me. The court refused to call witnesses. The same happened during appellation.
I have been looking for a lifeloging camera for a while. But i can't find anything that is discrete enogh. The n"arative clip" looked discrete. But it is of the market. Just want something that takes picture every 20 min's or so. So that i can review/analyze some of my daily behaviors in hindsight.

Sousveillance is illegal on London’s TFL network. They show adverts on the screens asking you to report anybody doing it.
Do you have any links to the ads?
I know TFL are working hard to combat up-skirting and cyber-flashing.
Arguably every smartphone in the world participates unwittingly in a global sousveillance network, they don't even have lens covers or camera-active lights, while running heaps of privileged software beyond control of the owners.
Every time I find myself in a cafe, restaurant, or other populated public space it can be rather disturbing to count the number of networked cameras and microphones within my line of sight at any given moment thanks to this development.
I was almost certain that this article was about my WIFI enabled Sous Vide cooker being hacked. Stay away from my cooking times and trade secrets China! These ribs are fall off the bone tender!
