Two college students have put facial recognition technology into the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses.
The demo the students created can pull up personal information such as names, phone numbers, addresses, and family members.
The demo shows off the scarier side of smart glasses.

The Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses are impressive tech that allows a user to livestream and use Meta’s AI (https://www.androidauthority.com/turn-off-meta-ai-3437314/). However, it’s not necessarily the tech that’s its best feature; rather, it’s the fact that the smart glasses actually look like a normal pair of sunglasses. As a result, it looks like a product you’d see anyone wear as they go about their day. With this technology becoming so discreet, it creates a certain problem that two college students have recently highlighted in a new demo.

A pair of Harvard students, AnhPhu Nguyen and Caine Ardayfio, have teamed up to create what they call I-XRAY. Designed to raise awareness of the scary potential of smart glasses, I-XRAY is capable of recognizing faces and connecting them to data points such as names, phone numbers, home addresses, and family members.
