This App Warns You if Someone Is Wearing Smart Glasses Nearby - 404media
The creator of Nearby Glasses made the app after reading 404 Media’s coverage of how people are using Meta’s Ray-Bans smartglasses to film people without their knowledge or consent. “I consider it to be a tiny part of resistance against surveillance tech.”

I vaguely recall a similar approach to detecting law enforcement by scanning for BT signals from common law enforcement BT devices. I don’t recall if they were body cameras or communications equipment or something else, though. Sound familiar to anyone?
i wonder if it can detect the snapchat ones too.
are you filming this? 👊
needs a disrupter to ignite it’s batteries. js. what good is detection w/o counter measures
Following for the iOS port
This is fantastic, but from what I understand they use randomized OUIs, so wouldn’t they be undetectable or at least unreliable in detection?

Shit, I have meta glasses for listening to music and occasionally recording my kid doing something silly.
Now people are going to look at me funny.

Have both your hands while recording is different.

Are you really comfortable with Meta having videos of your children?

Nah, I block access. It’s all local.

Nothing personal, but those glasses are going to come off your face and straight onto the asphalt when I get the notification.
Don’t buy meta shit.
