I-XRAY
The Viral Glasses That Reveal Anyone’s Personal Details Just from Looking at Them
This is crazy..
What if I told you someone could glance at your face and instantly know your name, your hobbies, work, interests, and more?
It sounds unbelievable, but it’s real—and it’s all based on public data. It took just 4 days to code.
What's the goal?
The goal of this project was to spark a global conversation about privacy and the potential harms of AI advancements.
Before posting the video, we decided not to open source any of the code, no online product demo, we didn't sell any software, and even wrote a detailed guide on how to remove yourself from these databases.
What Happened?
Our exposé video showcasing the technology gained over 80M views across social media, features on the New York Times (front page), Forbes (3x), Business Insider, TechCrunch, and it was national and international news. Even Joe Rogan and MKBHD talked about it.
We learned a lot of things:
Smart glasses are not prototypes anymore. There are tens of millions already being purchased, and we are pushing the frontier in where it can be used.
Going viral was really interesting. We got to present at a bunch of lectures, and saw so many famous people we watch every day talk about them.
