FWIW I think detecting VR with Meta Quest, Apple Vision Pro, Pico VR is quite funny. It's like ... hard NOT to detect such devices. You see a huge slab of plastic on the face of someone potentially looking in your direction and the cameras are numerous and visible.

So... for Meta Ray-Ban and Oakley Meta definitely because they are designed to look like traditional glasses and that's IMHO very wrong. For others like Snap Spectacles or TCL RayNeo it's quite obvious but still, OK makes sense.

Sadly as 404 media and others reported a lot of abuse came from wearing sneakingly such glasses then coercing people with the footage. I hope people who do abuse those tools do get prosecuted properly.

But does it hit them with DDOS attacks?

I would completely be fine with this app sending a hacking attempt in the direction of those glasses. If it can remotely brick those glasses, I'd be 100% fine with that. Hell, I'd install it myself

Fuck this garbage

How does it differ from Nearby Glasses, apart from detecting more AR headsets?

... No releases?

This needs to be taken on. I'd love an app that just notifies me whenever there's one nearby. Maybe it could play the "I'll be watching you" bit out of the police song.

why does this need to be a separate app? There are other Bluetooth apps which will notify you when it sees a device with a mac address and will record the signal strength and keep a record on a map. Just add a profile to those apps for the manufacturer mac prefix.

Just a thought: politicians should not be allowed to use such apps. This right-to-privacy shit has gone too far, in the wrong direction, protecting ONLY the wrong people.
