Harvard students create smart glasses that instantly dox strangers

Two Harvard students created I-XRAY, a system combining smart glasses and facial recognition to identify strangers and retrieve their personal information in real-time. Using off-the-shelf technology, including Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses, PimEyes facial recognition, and data brokers, I-XRAY can provide names, addresses, phone numbers, and family details of people in public spaces. The project demonstrates how easily available technology can be used to invade privacy, raising significant concerns about surveillance and personal data protection in the age of AI and smart devices.

This summary is based on an article that includes a video demonstration of the technology.
