Thank you for the very detailed and thorough response! I should note that your prior art video uses hall effect sensors instead of an optical mechanism. I've also seen that method used by others on reddit, and remember hearing that it

I'm all for these tools being published and used where appropriate. I'm only criticizing their description as the "gold standard for privacy protection" which seems disingenuous.

The Snap Camera desktop app offers features somewhat similar to what you're seeking, as long as you combine it with the right filters. I imagine that the open source repo in the OP will eventually be used in an app like this.

I've tried everything including the Airpods Pro, and the only earbuds small enough to not cause my ears discomfort are the Klipsch X11i and X12i. They use some of the smallest balanced armature drivers made by Bosch.
