Venues will just need to implement infrared checks at the door.
A simple solution would be to have a red led that displays when recording like video cameras
The fix for that is a Sharpie or electrical tape, like all other LED's you want to hide.
IANAL
Aren't there laws about being recorded without permission?
Any evidence gained by illegal means is inadmissible?
Depends on where you are I think
It's usually just submitting evidence collected illegally by state agencies that's prohibited
The Meta smart glasses have a LED, and they claim to detect when it's covered and asked the user to clear it (not activating the camera) when it's the case.
But honestly, there are already devices to record people without their consent. Just go to AliExpress and you'll find devices that don't even bother adding a LED (because the whole point of the device is stealth filming).
They have lights that pulse around each of the cameras when turned on. Seems like a good enough indicator to me
Next up: a bunch of facebook.posts on how to kill the recording.lights without damaging the glasses...
You mean the 'off' light?
Pretty sure these have that
