Lawmakers are once again turning up the legal heat on smart glasses. Pennsylvania Rep. Joe Ciresi (D-Montgomery) has introduced a bill that would require every pair of smart glasses “manufactured, sold, and used” in the state to have a “visual indicator” that tells others when they’re recording.

      I wanna see you do that when all the wiring is integrated into a pair of glasses. And it can’t be obvious afterwards that they were tampered with.

        Once you sacrifice one pair you’ll learn how to mod the next one cleanly. Unless the led is somehow integrated into actual IC or something.

        Wouldn’t be surprised if ease of modding wouldn’t become a feature to bank on the creep and stalker market though.

      As some hacker with a piece of malware, how do you propose to do that?

          ??? not sure how you got there

          No, the issue was “can some hacker take control of my WebCam without me knowing? “

          Not if it’s wired with a notification light in the way, I have suggested.

          If you wanna hack your own device, whatever dude
