This App Warns You if Someone Is Wearing #SmartGlasses Nearby
A new hobbyist developed app warns if people nearby may be wearing smart glasses, such as Meta’s Ray-Ban glasses, which #stalkers and harassers have repeatedly used to film people without their knowledge or consent. The app scans for smart glasses’ distinctive #Bluetooth signatures and sends a push alert if it detects a potential pair of glasses in the local area.

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.”
