Harvard students show how smart glasses can be used to get your personal info with a glance NBC Boston [Video]

Two Harvard University students are exposing how much personal information is publicly available online by combining smart glasses and artificial intelligence to collect that data by just looking at someone.

AnhPhu Nguyen is a junior at Harvard studying human augmentation, and Caine Ardayfio is a junior studying physics. They used a pair of Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses available to them through Harvard’s Augmented Reality Club, and they built software that allowed them to use existing search engines and facial recognition technology to identify people on the spot, using those lenses.

“You get a video feed from the glasses, and we have a bot that takes those video data and tries to find a face in it,” explained Ardayfio. “If it finds a face, then it will upload it to this tool called ‘PimEyes,’ and it will essentially, it’s called ‘reverse image search,’ where you take an image and you find …
