Ugh, this company is totally fucking creepy! If only there were a way to disrupt these glasses using readily available electronics...

    There's an Android app that will constantly scan for their Bluetooth signature in the background and alert you.

    I have this app. I work with a douche who wears these (despite then being banned), and this app didn't pick them up.

    That must be a huge battery killer.

    I just bought new glasses and got an IR-blocking lens coating that's supposed to thwart facial recognition from things like these and Flock cameras and whatnot. It's not active disruption via electronics, but it is a countermeasure...

    I thought IR only applies to night vision or low light modes, which not all cameras even use.

    most surveillance cameras, including the ones being discussed in Meta glasses, just use regular optical sensors for well illuminated environments.

    wouldn't IR blocking be completely useless when theres no Infrared LEDs projecting at you?
