Real-time privacy protection for smart glasses

I built a live video privacy filter that helps smart glasses app developers handle privacy automatically. How it works: You can replace a raw camera feed with the filtered stream in your app. The filter processes a live video stream, applies privacy protections, and outputs a privacy-compliant stream in real time. You can use this processed stream for AI apps, social apps, or anything else. Features: Currently, the filter blurs all faces except those who have given consent. Consent can be granted verbally by saying something like "I consent to be captured" to the camera. I'll be adding more…

In plain words

This is a real-time privacy filter for smart glasses developers that automatically processes live video feeds to protect privacy. It blurs all faces except those who have given verbal consent, allowing developers to use the filtered stream in AI, social, or other applications. The tool integrates directly into apps by replacing the raw camera feed. Planned features include detecting and redacting additional private information, speech anonymization, and automatic video shutdown in specific locations.

😎 Toolkit for building AI apps that see, hear, and guide through smart glasses - RealComputer/GlassKit

Build and test AI apps for smart glasses. GlassKit is an open-source toolkit with an agent skill, development guides, runnable examples, and vision evals for apps that understand what wearers see and hear, then guide them in real time. GlassKit's device integrations and examples currently focus on Rokid Glasses. GlassKit Eval works across smart-glasses platforms, helping teams catch vision regressions and improve prompts, models, and app logic without repeatedly performing physical workflows. These demos cover the core GlassKit building blocks for Rokid Glasses: camera/mic capture, WebRTC streaming, a monochrome on-lens display (HUD), touchpad and offline voice controls, OpenAI Realtime,…from github.com

  • Kitten TTS is an open-source series of tiny and expressive text-to-speech models for on-device applications. We are excited to launch a preview of our smallest model, which is less than 25 MB. This model has 15M parameters. This release supports English text-to-speech applications in eight voices: four male and four female. The model is quantized to int8 + fp16, and it uses onnx for runtime. The model is designed to run literally anywhere eg. raspberry pi, low-end smartphones, wearables, browsers etc. No GPU required! We're releasing this to give early users a sense of the latency and voices…

I ended up learning about parametric equations again, and make this visualization to document what I learned: https://visualrambling.space/moving-objects-in-3d/ feel free to visit and let me know what you think!
