About Nearby Glasses

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.
