Hi! Recently smart-glasses with cameras like the Meta Ray-bans seem to be getting more popular. As does some people's desire to remove/cover up the recording indicator LED. I wanted to see if there's a way to detect when people are recording with these types of glasses, so a little bit ago I started working this project. I've hit a little bit of a wall though so I'm very much open to ideas! I've written a bunch more on the link (+photos are there), but essentially this uses 2 fingerprinting approaches: - retro-reflectivity of the camera sensor by looking at IR reflections. mixed results…

EyesOff▲184I built EyesOff after getting fed up with people glancing at my screen in coffee shops. I trained a, custom and small, neural network to detect when people look at your screen. Whenever more faces than your allowed threshold are looking at your screen an alert will show. The model being ran locally ensures all data stays on your device - no cloud processing. I would love feedback on the application and any features you think I should implement!
