That’s a really interesting project! It sounds like you’ve already explored some creative approaches with IR reflections and BLE traffic.

#92Semi-related question. Is there a method to print a picture on a t-shirt that can only be viewed by a camera and not be the naked eye? If so I would like to print images on the front and back of the shirt that would get the glasshole or cell phone cameras banned from their platforms.

Isn't the biggest mobile use case where you don't want to be secretly recorded in public? This was a big concern with the original Google Glass.
The idea of being constantly monitored by a megacorp tracking all my movements wih their swarm of cameras to feed us personalized ads is utterly dystopian indeed. But I think the only valid way yo prevent this will be legislation though, it's not a fight individuals can win on their own.

That's very similar to the basis of _The Circle_ by Dave Eggers.

#94A 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.
> blocking/jamming the specific wireless traffic would be pretty interesting, if possible. And probably highly illegal.
Deauth attacks weer common in the Google Glasses days. Nobody got arrested as far as I can remember.

#95Putting myself in the shoes of a qa for a second... What is the cheapest way for me to trigger a false positive on such a detection device? And what can we do about it? Rinse and repeat until the cheapest cost exceeds a standard pair of smart glasses.
Bluetooth packets similar to smart glasses and IR filters used by a popular brand should probably be enough.

#96Taping 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?
I don't think taping over the indicator is illegal.
The zuckerberg glasses supposedly detect attempts to cover the indicator, though.

So Ring doorbells and networked CCTV? We're there already. Billboards alongside roads containing targeted advertising already exist, too.
I'm not too fussed about the advertisers in this aspect. The people these companies sell data too not meant for advertising are much more dangerous. That includes the government.

Infrared LEDs, or a green screen if you have enough access

In the USA, at least, the right to record in public is protected by the First Amendment.
Some right to record in public may be protected by the current jurisprudence invoking the first amendment, but the first amendment itself obviously doesn't say anything about the right to record in public:
> Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
