Interesting idea. It seems to me that most things which would need to be protected from hidden cameras would be stationary and not require the operator to mount the detectors on his body, but starting with mobile constraints is often helpful.

I would like to draw attention to this gem of wit, easily the best I've seen in a long time:

It's me. I want to be protected from hidden cameras from other peoples glasses.

Isn't the biggest mobile use case where you don't want to be secretly recorded in public? This was a big concern with the original Google Glass.

If I want to record you, you'd never know.

So all the people blathering about camera in public have a moot point. All the whining does is prevent the fairly obvious camera being put into devices.

But if someone wants to record you in public otherwise, they will and there's nothing you or any of us can do about it.

The idea of being constantly monitored by a megacorp tracking all my movements wih their swarm of cameras to feed us personalized ads is utterly dystopian indeed.

But I think the only valid way yo prevent this will be legislation though, it's not a fight individuals can win on their own.

It will need both. Secretly recording in the public is already prohibited in many if not most jurisdictions, but ad far as I know, not really prosecuted.

Counter-sniper systems that scan for reflections from optics have existed for twenty years already. These are indeed meant for static operation in military bases and other fixed installations.

I could see these being worn by walking-around security in a place where filming by the audience isn’t allowed. Super cool.

I agree, I laugh out loud at that pun.
