Two Harvard students created facial recognition glasses using tools that are readily available and then demonstrated them on strangers in Boston. They created them to prove the privacy risks of smart glasses.
Two students have made a pair of smart glasses with facial recognition technology to discover the private information of strangers. In a video demonstration, one of the Harvard students is shown using the technology to quickly discover details about the woman sitting near him at a train station in Boston. 'Wait, are you Betsy?' he asks her. Betsy is a complete stranger and he hasn't heard of her until seconds before.
Using those publicly available sources, the two students were able to quickly discover people's names, phone numbers, home addresses and even relatives' names. In a video shared online, the experiment is repeated over and over, with Mr Nguyen and Mr Ardayfio testing it out on Harvard's campus to the shock of their fellow students. 'What about John and Susan?' they asked one woman. 'They are my parents...' she replied in horror.
