The dark side of Meta's smart glasses: Harvard students reveal how Mark Zuckerberg's creepy spectacles can be used to instantly find strangers' names and addresses

Ever since Meta debuted its smart glasses back in 2021, concerns have been raised over their ability to film people without their knowledge.

Now, two Harvard students have taken the device's privacy-invading capabilities even further – by building a modified version called 'I-XRAY'.

The creepy system uses AI and facial recognition software to instantly dox people's identities.
The tech has been created by AnhPhu Nguyen and Caine Ardayfio, two engineers at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

'The purpose of building this tool is not for misuse, and we are not releasing it,' they say in a document outlining the technology.

'Our goal is to demonstrate the current capabilities of smart glasses, face search engines, large language models and public databases.

'[We're] raising awareness that extracting someone's home address and other personal details from just their face on the street is possible today.'
