  • Making Glasses That Detect Smartglasses

    [NullPxl]’s Ban-Rays concept is a wearable that detects when one is in the presence of camera-bearing smartglasses, such as Meta’s line of Ray-Bans. A project in progress, it’s currently focused on how to reliably perform detection without resorting to using a camera itself. Right now, it plays a well-known audio cue whenever it gets a hit.
    Once software is nailed down, the device aims to be small enough to fit into glasses.
    Currently, [NullPxl] is exploring two main methods of detection. The first takes advantage of the fact that image sensors in cameras act as tiny reflectors for IR. That means camera-toting smartglasses have an identifying feature, which can be sensed and measured. You can see a sample such reflection in the header image, up above.

    As mentioned, Ban-Rays eschews the idea of using a camera to perform this. [NullPxl] understandably feels that putting a camera on glasses in order to detect glasses with cameras doesn’t hold much water, conceptually.

    The alternate approach is to project IR in a variety of wavelengths while sensing reflections with a photodiode. Initial tests show that scanning a pair of Meta smartglasses in this way does indeed look different from regular eyeglasses, but probably not enough to be conclusive on its own at the moment. That brings us to the second method being used: wireless activity.

    Characterizing a device by its wireless activity turned out to be trickier than expected. At first, [NullPxl] aimed to simply watch for BLE (Bluetooth Low-Energy) advertisements coming from smartglasses, but these only seem to happen during pairing and power-up, and sometimes when the glasses are removed from the storage case. Clearly a bit more is going to be needed, but since these devices rely heavily on wireless communications there might yet be some way to actively query or otherwise characterize their activity.

    This kind of project is something that is getting some interest. Here’s another smartglasses detector that seems to depend entirely on sniffing OUIs (Organizationally Unique Identifiers); an approach [NullPxl] suspects isn’t scalable due to address randomization in BLE. Clearly, a reliable approach is still in the works.

    The increasing numbers of smartglasses raises questions about the impact of normalizing tech companies turning people into always-on recording devices. Of course, the average person is already being subtly recorded by a staggering number of hidden cameras. But at least it’s fairly obvious when an individual is recording you with a personal device like their phone. That may not be the case for much longer.

  • We report: all of the wind of these past few weeks has stripped the trees bare here. The ground is all mulch and rotting wood, and we are bound to get a foot stuck in there at some point tonight. With no leaves on the branches, and barely a breeze, the night is eerily quiet.

  • @SecurityWriter the first season took everything good about 80s horror and fantasy and teen movies, and the fifth season seems to be taking everything bad, including 30 year olds playing high schoolers. (This last bit I could forgive if the 30 year olds and the scripts were good, but they aren't, so...)

    @sylvia aw yes Sylvia, it was my happy place too and I'm so sad about what happened to it.If I ever return to it, it will only be to browse existing pins I had saved. I'll bookmark my collections homepage now, so I can skip the main feed.I don't trust the feed one bit and it makes me sad to see gen AI imagery in there 😭

    #datocurioso ¿Creías que el #fediverso se limitaba solo al microblogging de #Mastodon? ¡Piénsatelo de nuevo!El fediverso es un cosmos interconectado regido por el protocolo #ActivityPub, y alberga un sinfín de mundos más allá de las publicaciones cortas. Puedes encontrar alternativas descentralizadas para casi cualquier servicio centralizado que conozcas: ¿Buscas compartir imágenes al estilo Instagram? Existe #Pixelfed.¿Anhelas un espacio para vídeos como YouTube? Tienes a tu disposición #PeerTube, que usa tecnología P2P para aligerar la carga.¿ quieres compartir videos cortos al estilo tik Tok? Prueba #loops!¿Prefieres los agregadores de enlaces al estilo Reddit? #Lemmy es tu destino. ¿ buscas compartir tu #podcast? #funkwhale es a donde debes ir.¿ te gusta escribir o quieres hacer un blog? Intenta con #WriteAs¡Y eso solo es la punta del iceberg!El fediverso no es un solo lugar, sino una constelación de plataformas que interactúan entre sí, una red de redes libres, abiertas y federadas, permitiendo a un usuario de Mastodon o de algún otro servicio federado seguir e interactuar con alguien en PeerTube o Pixelfed, etc. ¡La verdadera magia radica en la interoperabilidad y la libertad de elección! #SoftwareLibre #Tecnologia #Privacidad ✨‍♂️🎙️
