How to identify smart glasses
Smart glasses can look like ordinary eyewear, but there are usually some common features including:
- extra thickness on one or both sides of the temple
- removable looking panels
- clusters of tiny holes
- bulges near the hinge or behind the ear
- tiny dot elements near the outer corners of frame
- unusual shapes near the nose bridge
- indicator lights on the front or temple
- faint audio that might be heard
- beeps or tones upon touch.
Common behaviours for smart glasses use include:
- tapping or swiping the frame or lens, or repeatedly on the same spot
- swipes along the temple area
- micro pauses that look like reading or waiting for a response.
Schools are not required to screen or monitor people for use of smart glasses or covert filming devices. However, if staff, students or parents/carers are concerned that a breach of this policy is occurring, they should speak with the principal in the first instance.
Principals should follow the advice in this policy to manage any potential breach.
