Meta’s Ray-Ban Smart Glasses Feature Built-In Cameras to Capture Every Moment

Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses, equipped with built-in cameras for capturing photos and videos, have recently come under scrutiny due to a new application that raises serious privacy issues. Two Harvard students have developed a system that combines these smart glasses with facial recognition technology, allowing users to access personal information about strangers in public.

The project, called I-XRAY, integrates with the Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses and enables wearers to potentially gather sensitive data about individuals they encounter, including phone numbers, addresses, and even Social Security numbers.

The students demonstrated their project by accessing the personal information of several fellow students without their knowledge or consent, sparking significant controversy regarding privacy and surveillance in public spaces.

In response to the growing concerns, Meta issued a statement distancing itself from the project, emphasizing that the software used, PimEyes, could be employed with any camera-equipped device and that their smart glasses do not have any specific features that facilitate surveillance.

The students defended their choice of Meta’s smart glasses, highlighting their inconspicuous design, which resembles regular eyewear, making them less noticeable than other wearable technologies. They also noted the glasses’ affordability, priced at $300, making them a cheaper alternative to similar products on the market.
