Visual Indicators of Smart Glasses

As wearable technology gains popularity, concerns regarding covert surveillance have increased. While some smart glasses are designed to look like standard eyewear, many feature thicker frames at the temples to house internal hardware, such as camera lenses, ports, or indicator LEDs that activate during recording.
