TL;DR Samsung has revealed more details about its upcoming Android XR glasses.
The company highlighted how it would thwart creeps who use smart glasses to record people without consent.
Samsung also explained how the glasses will integration with your Galaxy phone’s Now Bar.
Samsung gave us another look at its upcoming Android XR glasses last week, while also disclosing a few more details. Now, the company has revealed even more information about its smart glasses.
Samsung XR executive James Choi told Samsung Newsroom that its upcoming Android XR glasses would include a few measures to combat creeps who use smart glasses to record people without their consent.
“A bystander-facing LED indicator and an inner LED clearly show when recording is active. Wear detection automatically disables recording when the glasses are removed, while a thwart detection feature disables recording if the external LED indicator is blocked,” Choi was quoted as saying.
The outward-facing LED indicator and thwart detection feature are also found on Meta’s smart glasses, but the wear detection is a pretty neat addition. This means people can’t leave the glasses somewhere (e.g., on a table) to record others. Nevertheless, I hope Samsung also includes deeper hardware safeguards to thwart mods and other tricks people might use to disable the LED.
