Two Harvard Students Modified MetaxRay-Ban Smart Glasses with AI Face Recognition

TapTechNews on October 3rd, the tech media 404Media released a blog post yesterday (October 2nd), reporting that two students from Harvard University modified the MetaxRay-Ban smart glasses and added AI-based face recognition technology that can identify strangers in real time.

Anh Phu Nguyen and Caine Ardayfio, the two students, demonstrated the modified MetaxRay-Ban smart glasses, which can use the camera on the glasses to take pictures of strangers and then obtain their names through facial recognition. TapTechNews attached the relevant video as follows:

In addition, the two also modified and added a database that can query relevant information such as home addresses, phone numbers, and family members through the Internet.

Ardayfio aimed at a completely strange woman in a public place and then scanned her face to find her name and background, including photo information of her participating in a certain activity. He then went up to chat with her, claiming that he had seen her at a certain event.

Nguyen conducted a second demonstration, randomly identifying a male and starting to talk to him, pretending to have read his work according to the information displayed by the glasses.
