Just by looking at you using Meta smart glasses, you can know everything about you A new problem 

A new device hits the market, one that somehow ends up being hacked by experts.

This is exactly what happened to Meta's smart glasses, which, although not very new, two Harvard students wanted to prove that they could become a tool to know the personal data of anyone on the street in seconds.

AnhPhu Nguyen and Caine Ardayfio are the masterminds behind this project, called I-XRAY. To prove that the issue of privacy needs a new review, they combined the Ray-Ban Meta 2 with a face search engine called PimEyes .

The result is this: just by looking at a person, he can get their name, address and phone number.

The most disturbing thing is how easy it is to use. The glasses transmit what you see in real time, and the software detects faces and searches for matches online. Within seconds, all the available information about that person appears on the user’s mobile phone. 

But why did they choose Meta Glasses? Because they are virtually indistinguishable from regular glasses. That makes them the perfect tool for scanning faces without arousing suspicion. They even covered the light that indicates the glasses are recording, so no one would notice they were being recorded.

Of course, this is something that was done with the idea of ​​educating and proving that these devices are not as secure as one might think, no matter how much the company behind them sells them, dead in this mess of absolute privacy. Everything is hackable and in this case the creators insist that their intentions are not malicious. In fact, they do not plan to release the code to make it available to everyone.
