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 mean... you can also just look around and see the guy with the dorky out-of-place classes...

I don't want to have to keep up with the current styles of SmartGlasses from however many makers of these things there are at any given time. I am happy to outsource this awareness to someone I can find good reason to trust to provide me the info I need. Just like I don't make my own vaccines, because I have no idea how to get the 5G that small.

You are thinking Google Glass. Those aint those anymore.

Na, I'm looking at the RAY-BAN META GLASSES and they look strait out of some 1970s/1980s "I work at NASA/IBM" movie. Still dorky.
