Bunch of students walked into exam room with glasses for the first time. Never wore them before.

All have eerily similar answers to exam. 🤔

Smart glasses can't even be banned as nobody can tell them from real glasses.

My partner was really pissed telling me all this.... Just sharing his rage.

@chu We’re gonna need to start Faraday-caging exam rooms.

@chu

Actually you can tell

> I made an app. Nearby Glasses is here to warn you when smart glasses are nearby.

@runoutgroover @chu I'd rather poison the signals so as to tag the cheats who repeat them.

@chu Hey physics people, how hard would the above actually be achieve? Could you just put a layer of tinfoil under the plasterboard?

So tempting to set up a Bluetooth jammer in the exam room! It would be such a funny surprise, wouldn't it? But unfortunately, illegal in most places (including Canada).

@chu "unreasonably similar answers" is an academic offence most places. It doesn't matter how they got them.

Thank you! I downloaded it immediately when I read about it yesterday

I saw on here someone saying they had written an app that tells you if smart glasses are nearby.

@marilyn @chu
Jamming would be illegal but recording device IDs wouldn't be. I'm sure a scanner could be made to tell whether a person's glasses are "smart" if the right person was interested to try

@runoutgroover @chu make the people taking the exams wear tinfoil hats?

[retrosponge@kind.social]

@chu Too bad they can't send an EMP out before class.

@Happyfishmedia @runoutgroover @chu a cage only blocks signals between inside and outside, it wouldn’t block multiple devices inside from communicating with eachother. So you’d have to cage each device separately, which a funny hat might be able to do

[runoutgroover@cloudisland.nz]

@ShadSterling @Happyfishmedia @chu Ah so they’re *sharing* answers rather than grabbing them from outside? OK, could you *jam* the bloody things then?

[shadsterling@mastodon.social]

@libroraptor @runoutgroover @chu I wonder if anyone in Minneapolis has tools that can do that sort of thing
