on NoPeek - free open source Android app that detects nearby Meta Ray-Ban glasses and VR headsets via Bluetooth · c/opensource · 1 pts · 107d

Yes it does! 🎉 Here's how it works:

Tap "Run in background" button in the app. You'll see a persistent notification saying "VR Shield — Background Scan".

If a smart glass or VR headset is detected you'll get:

  • Vibration alert
  • Sound alarm
  • Push notification with vendor name and distance

Tap the notification to open the app and see full details.

To stop: tap "Stop background" in the app or tap Stop in the notification.

APK now available if you want to try it: github.com/getnopeek/nopeek-android/releases

Great question! Key differences:

  • NoPeek detects BOTH smart glasses AND VR headsets (Quest, Vision Pro, Pico, Vive, PSVR etc)
  • Background scanning via foreground service — works when app is closed
  • Distance estimation (~2m ~5m ~10m)
  • Detection history saved locally
  • Configurable RSSI threshold and notification cooldown
  • Smart device grouping
  • Sound alarm on detection

Nearby Glasses is great and inspired some of our detection approach — NoPeek builds on it with more devices and more features.
