Need an iOS.
But I think very soon the whole detection won’t be enough, because most people will have glasses, phones, CCTV, etc., I think the best is protecting yourself, so a cloak mask or similar, where for humans it’s barely visible but for machines it blocks you from being scanned or recorded.
- luxuryballs 8mo agoan invisibility cloak! crazy times, maybe we can make anti-smart-glasses glasses that detect smart glasses and have an invisible beam that can target and blind the cameras
- tamimio 8mo ago> anti-smart-glasses glasses that detect smart glasses and have an invisible beam that can target and blind the cameras I love it! I literally thought of something similar while writing the above comment, something like an EMP that disables all nearby camera sensors for 10min or so.
- luxuryballs 8mo agoI’m thinking it could be active enough to actually obscure the camera recording in real time whenever you are in the frame, like an actual beam that goes into the camera lens making the normal light intake all distorted, so it wouldn’t appear to malfunction or fail, it would just be like a refracting smudge in the feed.
- tamimio 8mo agoI know these below existed, but it only works against IR enabled cameras aka CCTV, but definitely they won’t against smart glasses, but I love your idea, a glass distort the lights, hmmm maybe emit IR? https://www.reflectacles.com/order/ghost https://www.reflectacles.com/order/ghost
- ChrisMarshallNY 8mo ago> an EMP that disables all nearby camera sensors for 10min or so Some years ago, there was a guy that got arrested (may have been in Chicago), for riding on the train, and running a cellphone jammer, because he hated people on the phone, while on the train. Might be considered somewhat similar. It could definitely earn you a beatdown, if someone catches you.
- tamimio 8mo agoHow did they catch him?! I remember I read something similar of a guy having a cell jammer in his car, because he didn’t want people being busy on their phones while driving, but they caught him because the cell towers detected the jammer and eventually triangulated him, not sure about a guy in a train. On the topic: if the glasses can be impacted with anything RF, it would be an easy job, but it’s a camera, optical sensors, etc. and only an optical way could counter that, imo.
- ChrisMarshallNY 8mo agoHe was sitting on the train, with it in his lap. Someone snapped a pic. Looked a bit like one of those Cradlepoint routers, with 4 antennas.
- genewitch 8mo agoyeah they generally look like a 3"x5" device an inch thick with antennas coming out one of the 3"x1" sides, from the ones i have seen.
- genewitch 8mo agowear a hat/beanie with IR LEDs, you need a few frequencies of "IR", but it's invisible (or barely visible) to humans, but it's the same as shining a light into a sensor to a "machine". could have it built in to a jacket collar, too. you'd have to wear pants to foil gait detection, too. Something with a lot of angles and squiggles that is hard to see as "distinct" against the background.
- Klaster_1 8mo agoThe Quantum Thief series by Hannu Rajaniemi depicts a society where the protection point in "smart glasses" is addressed by making shared info opt-in and handling that centrally (vulnerability of which is a major plot point), so people see a non-distinct blob instead of a person if they don't have access. There's more to it in the books, but I won't spoil, I highly recommend reading these instead.
