Overview
- Smart glasses can pass for regular eyewear, and common models like Meta Ray‑Bans can snap photos or record video with a button press or a short voice command.
- Thicker, chunky frames and a tiny camera lens in the upper corner of the frame are the clearest physical giveaways.
- A status light next to the lens turns on for photos and stays lit or pulses during video, yet the LED is small and easy to miss in bright light.
- A faint camera‑style click, repeated taps on the right arm, or a spoken cue like “Hey Meta, take a photo” can signal that recording is underway.
- Detection is imperfect because some users cover or disable indicators, so the practical move is to step out of the wearer’s forward‑facing view to avoid the frame.
