New App Detects Nearby Smart Glasses to Address Privacy Concerns
A new iPhone app called Zuckoff, developed by Polish programmer Pawel Szydlowski, detects nearby smart glasses by scanning Bluetooth signals to address privacy concerns about camera-equipped AI glasses like Meta's Ray-Ban and Oakley models. The app estimates proximity but cannot confirm recording or identify wearers. Meta states its glasses have LED indicators to signal recording, though recent reports highlight misuse and a recall due to tampered LEDs. Zuckoff has attracted around 5,000 users since launch amid growing scrutiny of AI wearables.
