Meta has sold 7M+ Ray-Ban glasses that look identical to normal glasses but can record you silently.
NoPeek detects them using immutable BLE manufacturer company IDs - signals that cannot be randomized or hidden unlike MAC addresses.
Detects: Meta Ray-Ban, Snap Spectacles, Oakley Meta, TCL RayNeo, Meta Quest, Apple Vision Pro, Pico VR and more.

How would this app be an improvement or any better? Sometimes I feel people clone app repos, tweak 1 or 2 things and call it a whole new app.
If it ran in the background and notified me whenever one was detected it would be great.
Edit: looks like it does
Yes it does! 🎉 Here’s how it works:
Tap “Run in background” button in the app. You’ll see a persistent notification saying “VR Shield — Background Scan”.
If a smart glass or VR headset is detected you’ll get:
Tap the notification to open the app and see full details.
To stop: tap “Stop background” in the app or tap Stop in the notification.
