The students shared an astonishing video which showed the power of the spectacles. In the video, the glasses were quickly telling the names and personal details of strangers they were seeing.
These personal details included home address, work history and even the names of parents of the individual..
Here’s how these AI glasses work
The stream for the faces of people is monitored by a computer programme which can match the face to the images available publicly across the internet.
After this, the AI fetches details like the person’s name, occupation and other details. The results go to a different application which has been created by the students.
The glasses have been created by two engineers – AnhPhu Nguyen and Caine Ardayfio – at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

“The purpose of building this tool is not for misuse, and we are not releasing it,” said the engineers in a document which explained the technology. “Our goal is to demonstrate the current capabilities of smart glasses, face search engines, large language models and public databases. [We’re] raising awareness that extracting someone’s home address and other personal details from just their face on the street is possible today,” they added.
