A much-needed project. Making yourself invisible to such privacy-invasive devices will be the need of the day. Of the two approaches you mentioned, blocking/jamming the specific wireless traffic would be pretty interesting, if possible.

I look forward to the social media rage meltdown shorts that widespread adoption of this tech will precipitate. I think I'm kidding. I should be kidding. But I am curious... Question for people who resonate with this: whenever someone is holding their cellphone at an angle that "could be inferred" to be imaging you, how do you feel and think? I grew up on Earth before the cellpocalypse (phone zombies, etc), and went…
It's probably inevitable over time. "Smart" AR glasses that are indistinguishable from just a pair of regular glasses seem like something inevitable over the next decade or two.
or one that is truly inevitable and can’t be stopped?

is this the future we actually want???? or one that is truly inevitable and can’t be stopped?
Taping over the recording indicator is illegal. Is there any way your device can find the MAC address of the glasses through bluetooth or something and file a lawsuit automatically?
it’s not illegal. meta raybans will detect the tape blocking a light sensor and not allow you take photos.
Interesting idea. It seems to me that most things which would need to be protected from hidden cameras would be stationary and not require the operator to mount the detectors on his body, but starting with mobile constraints is often helpful. I would like to draw attention to this gem of wit, easily the best I've seen in a long time: > I think the idea behind this approach is sound (actually it's light)
It's me. I want to be protected from hidden cameras from other peoples glasses.
I remember seeing some celebrities in the late 00s / early 10s with IR-emitting sunglasses or accessories to flood the camera sensors of paparazzi and make it harder for photographers to get spyshots of them. Would this approach work for these camera glasses as well, simply flooding them with so much IR spectrum light that their sensors simply can't see you anymore?
I have been thinking of a device to thwart license plate readers by dumping a ton of IR and/or visible light on the plate before it gets read. Perhaps combined with some reflective coating? Retroreflectors are promising

In the USA, at least, the right to record in public is protected by the First Amendment.
Private businesses, however, can choose to refuse service for any reason as long as it’s not discriminatory. If enough businesses collaborated to create a “no camera glasses” policy, people might be less likely to buy them. This could keep the market small. Perhaps a good approach would be to pressure businesses about this. Frankly they probably don’t want pervasive recording of their employees anyway.

... by using your own glasses with a hidden camera? Sounds like a good guy with a gun to stop a bad guy with a gun.

> toot sweet Not sure if intentional but just in case: the usual term is "tout de suite"
It might be in the original French, but it’s been anglicised and adopted as an English language term: https://www.oed.com/dictionary/toot-sweet_adv?tl=true

This is the first time I've ever seen "toot sweet" used. The more you learn :)
