Researcher Releases Nearby Glasses Detection App

Yves Jeanrenaud, a deputy professor at Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences, released Nearby Glasses last week, an Android app that scans Bluetooth Low Energy advertising frames for manufacturer identifiers to detect nearby smart glasses, including Ray‑Ban Meta AI Glasses. Jeanrenaud warns of false positives and LED-disablement risks, while Meta notes recording LEDs and legal experts flag biometric and wiretapping concerns.
