So your sitting in a coffee shop surfing off of the establishment’s free Wi-Fi. Un-denounced to you, there is someone sitting behind you watching your every move as you log in to your bank account and check your investments. 24 hours later you are wondering why your bank account is negative and you invested in an unknown company in Uruguay.
Cyber forensics experts at the University of Massachusetts have developed a way for Google Glass to capture touch screen interaction from just about 10 feet away. People with these glasses can video capture where you click on the screen and decode it upon further review. Google responded with their ability for people to notice when someone is recording since the glasses light up and reveal video is being recorded. My question to that is, when someone is sitting behind you, how are you supposed to notice this feature?
Watch the video embedded here and see how privacy is tested once again in this upcoming augmented world we will call reality.
