Meta contractors in Kenya told two Swedish newspapers that they're being told to review highly sensitive footage recorded by smart glasses.

    I wonder what would be the power consumption of a device that sits on your head and emits IR light in all directions until you turn it off, instead of just over your eyes. Similar to how microphone blockers work.

    What would jewelry and hats do about cameras?

      The idea being that anything near the face emitting enough IR could potentially affect the meta glasses and obscure your face. I think IR LEDs draw less power than red LEDs but dont quote me Im not an engineer.
