The creator of Nearby Glasses made the app after reading 404 Media's coverage of how people are using Meta's Ray-Bans smartglasses to film people without their knowledge or consent. “I consider it to be a tiny part of resistance against surveillance tech.”

Interesting but I feel like there are so many cameras in public recording us without our consent that these devices barely change the equation. We need a collective solution to mass surveillance, not an individual one.

I'd rather have an individual solution over nothing

could it auto-launch a deauth attack, or send out Bluetooth spam, or the likes?

The app found one pair this morning on my commute and a whole bunch of Quests. It will pickup VR headsets.

Is it just me or does its top bar with the settings n stuff hide behind your notification drawer so you can't do anything other than click start scanning?

I can confirm that issue

I remember people calling these individuals glassholes. Would've been a fun app name.
