College Students Use Meta's Smart Glasses for Real-Time Facial Recognition; 404 Media Reports Privacy Concerns
Oct 2, 2024, 03:25 PM
College students have developed a facial recognition system using Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses, enabling real-time identification of strangers and retrieval of their personal information such as names, home addresses, phone numbers, and family details. The system, known as the IXRAY pipeline, was reported by 404 Media and has been tested in real-world settings, where individuals were identified and approached using information gathered from internet searches. The glasses include a privacy light to indicate recording, but it is not always easily visible, raising significant privacy concerns. This development highlights potential privacy backlashes associated with wearable technology, as the glasses can now be used to covertly collect personal data without individuals' knowledge or consent.
