How to stop Google seeing you: Scientists produce ‘Anti-Glass’ specs that BLOCK eye-wear technology (but they aren’t very trendy)
Japanese researchers have developed ‘Anti-Google Glass’ technology which stops those wearing the specs from seeing their face.
The team have created their own pair of specs which have 11 LEDs on them which emit near infrared light into Google Glass’ cameras.
The light is not visible to the human eye, but on film it is so bright that you cannot see the person’s face.

The research is the most extreme instance yet of people trying to avoid being filmed or have their picture taken by Google Glass.
The glasses, which cost $1,500 a pair (£980), are currently on limited release to 2,000 people but will be more widely available later this year.
They have caused concern because they have a camera next to the wearer’s eye which can take photos or record video without a red light or a shutter sound to tell others that it is working
The ‘Anti Google Glass’ technology currently only works on camera lenses which are sensitive to infrared light.
