Antizuck Smart Glasses Scanner has been released for iPhone, offering a way to detect nearby smart glasses and headsets via Bluetooth signals. The application scans for devices such as Meta glasses, Snap Spectacles, Meta Quest headsets, RayNeo smart glasses, and other Bluetooth‑enabled eyewear.
When a device is detected, the app displays its name, distance from the phone, and whether it has been seen before. Users do not need to create an account or provide an email address, and all data remains on the device, with no external transmission.
The software is priced at $2.99, with no subscription or recurring fees required.
Testing shows that the scanner can identify both Meta glasses and a Quest 3 headset, even when the headset is in sleep mode. Detection of Meta glasses is limited to moments when they are charging, powering on, or actively pairing.
The app also lists other nearby Bluetooth devices and attempts to identify them. For example, it recognized Even Realities G2 smart glasses but did not flag them, likely because the device lacks a camera.
While the scanner can alert users when a smart glasses device is nearby, it does not reveal who is wearing the glasses, nor does it notify when recording begins or when media is transferred to a phone. Alerts occur only when a device is activated or charging for a brief period.
The release reflects broader concerns over camera‑forward smart glasses, with public debate surrounding privacy and the legality of recording in public spaces. Scanning for Bluetooth signatures is legal, though it raises similar privacy questions as photography.
Ultimately, the utility of the tool depends on how it is employed, balancing legitimate uses of smart eyewear against potential privacy risks.
