Harvard students taught Meta smartglasses to collect passersby's personal data
Harvard University students have opened Pandora's Box by connecting Ray-Ban Stories smart glasses to facial recognition and public databases. The result is the ultimate spy device.
They called their invention I-XRAY and conducted “field tests” on strangers. They checked the data they received against the passersby themselves. The glasses found their names, ages, phone numbers and insurance policies, home addresses, academic and work achievements, as well as hobbies and interests.
The students emphasized that the project was created not to reveal other people's personal data, but to raise the issue of privacy in the modern world.
