Enthusiasts have turned Ray-Ban's Meta smart glasses into a spy gadget

A seemingly Black Mirror episode where users can identify a person just by looking at them (the show's brain implant) is now possible, as shown by two Harvard students using Ray-Ban's Meta smart glasses. They "pro-upgraded" Ray-Ban smart glasses from Meta and added the ability to collect data about passers-by in real time. To demonstrate the possibilities, enthusiasts used only modern technologies available to any user, such as Ray-Ban's Meta smart glasses and public databases. This new technology gave Meta Ray-Ban Smart Glasses a new purpose – not only as a photography accessory, and students Anh Phu Nguyen and Cain Ardaifio shared their findings.

In their document at Google, they called this technology "I-XRAY" and believe that after the successful integration of the PimEyes program into Meta smart glasses, it “quickly highlighted privacy concerns”. The students created this "tool" to explore how such technology can successfully identify an individual using facial search engines, large language models, and public databases, otherwise known as "doxing".

By integrating the PimEyes face search engine into Ray-Ban's Meta smart glasses, students were able to find a person they met online, along with their name, address and other sensitive information.

Law masters are very helped the project because they are able to analyze input data and quickly search for information on the Internet or databases obtained from trainings, and then match it with platforms such as PimEyes, Facecheck.ID and others.

« Real» the Augmented Reality (AR) experience is not yet available to the world as it is still being developed by several companies that are eager to join this revolution that integrates the digital world into the real world through their lenses. Earlier this year, the U.S. military also expressed its intention to explore the technology, signing a contract with Kopin to develop AR optics to help soldiers on the battlefield.
