I'd fork this just to name it more appropriately: "Glasshole radar"

Open season on meta wearers when?
Green light!
Now if they can just notify you that some asshole is recording you on their cell phone instead of reading reddit. probably 0.001% of people out there stalking are using smart glasses.

If you're out in public, always assume you're on someone's camera. That isn't really new either.

Now you need a powerful laser to ruin the glasses camera. Careful not to blind the wearer.
Apparently the lidar in some cars can damage cameras and are safe for eyes.

It sucks that it seems like as time goes on the best thing my phone will be good for is alerting me to other nearby tech to avoid.
Doesn't work 😮💨 push "start scanning" and nothing happens.
It's supposed to ask for Bluetooth access at that point, did it?
Also from the GitHub page:
if you don't see the scan starting, you might need to enable Foreground Service on your particular phone in the Settings menu [in the app's settings, not the phone's]

I know next to nothing about the glasses, but would they be vulnerable to anything the Flipper Zero is capable of doing?
How hard can you throw it?
Pretty hard. Unfortunately my aim is shit.
depends on what you know about flipper zero.
The app scans for smart glasses’ distinctive Bluetooth signatures and sends a push alert if it detects a potential pair of glasses in the local area.

Would love to know when the iOS app is coming out.
Lmao it's just BLE radar.
yep, theres a few apps like that nowadays. Bluetooth is VERY vulnerable. At least from my understanding.
