They're not overstepping, it's their product. They can do whatever they want, it's up to us to find a different product or solution that fits our needs
Thanks for this reveal! Game changer. I tested other methods with covering. drawing a black circle on your finger with black ink works. Or wearing a band-aid with a black circle on the part of your finger easiest to cover. I have brown skin but that didn't work. I will get a tan and test it out :P
I try to avoid touching my glass as much as possible as skin produces a natural oil which might leave noticable streaks on the lens. It's a habit that I just got used to when working with larger cameras and lenses where it is very noticible. Perhaps not so noticeable with tiny lenses like this or cell phones but still concerned it could degrade the image quality.
Holy fuck it works, I was actually playing around with it and couldn’t get it to work, what finally worked for me it is putting my entire palm over the camera.

Whereas cameras like on our phones have a free range of uses and you can abuse that more easily than a body, dash, and security cam. I think people are failing to realize that it's not illegal to use the camera in public pretty much in any country without people's consent (unless stated otherwise like at a concert or private whatever), but it's designed so you can't just easily do that.
If meta wanted to apply this stupid pro privacy politics why they did their best to miniaturize as much as possible a camera inside some glasses? It's like creating a gun and not enable you to put bullets. Ridiculous
Is this a new model because all I did was put black tape on the little led dot that lights up and it still works so notbsure if it's new model or something but mine are about a year old.
It is beyond stupid that they did that because if you’re in public, there’s no law that I can’t record you or have to tell you that I am recording you. Literally that light is the only reason I won’t buy those damn glasses.
@@wessyder112 Actual news, you can google it if you don't believe it: "A Roomba photographed a woman on the toilet and it ended up on social media" Now imagine what will happen with these glasses.
Try making the cover only big enough to cover the light diode inside the light sensor ring. The demos or is the ring around the light. Keep that uncovered.
Ehat if you started the recording and then covered the LED. Does it still work? Instead of carrying electric tape for the camera, why not cary an LED sticker for when you want to film incognito?
Based on the principle you discovered, I think 'reflection' is more meaningful than 'obstruction'. A simple experiment, if you tilt a mirror at 45 degrees to block the LED, it won't trigger an alarm when taking a picture. Because the light from the LED is reflected away, and the external light is reflected into the brightness sensor. So, it's likely that placing a small 45-degree reflective mirror in front of the LED can achieve the task. Of course, the other side of the reflective mirror can be blackened.
Dont worry guys imaking a accessory right now you can place on your raybans so it will cover the blinking light. Just wait on it will be available soon 👍🏿
I haven't tried this yet but I know it will stop any music playing when you begin recording. Though that might just be to avoid copyright infringement.

Apparently it uses the camera to determine if the room is lit, and disables recording if the two sensors disagree. You can easily get around this by blocking the LED, but right before you hit record, cover the camera with your thumb. It will assume it's dark and allow you to start recording.
This is a nice hack. It is of course easily reversible. The only use I can see for the light is if you were filming up close in the dark then perhaps the light might provide some illumination? I have read people have drilled into the led and disabled it but that is a bit risky. I have also read that if you put just a pinhole in the middle of the tape then that is enough to start recording without covering the camera lens.

Ray Ban thinks the world should know what I'm doing with my camera. It lets the public know every time I switch it on. No other camera in the world does this other than stage cameras which let you know which is on so you can turn toward them. Only RayBan puts the needs of others ahead of the needs of it's owner.
