Nearby Glasses (Original)
Check for Smart Glasses nearby
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
This app searches for smart glasses nearby and notifies you of their presence.
Smart glasses are becoming more and more parts of our daily encounters. However, they are often not easy to distinguish from regular eyewear. This app looks for their Bluetooth identification (Company Identifiers in the BTLE advertising frame, ADV_INV). It displays a notification when a smart glass is nearby (distance may be customised) , hence you may act accordingly.
