Visible design features reveal usage

Most smart glasses possess tech-riddled innards that necessitate thick frames around the temples. Camera lenses are typically located on the outer sides of the lenses. Some models also feature giveaway ports or grilles positioned further back on the design.

Indicator lights signal recording activity

Many smart glasses include an indicator light that turns on when they are filming. Users can spot this light if they suspect they are being recorded via the device. Not all brands have built these signs, but most do provide such giveaways.
