Introduction

As we’ve seen in recent years, it’s very easy for hackers to get access to your information. It can be hard to protect yourself against these cyber attacks, but new augmented reality glasses could make it easier to protect your data and prevent hackers from getting access.

AR glasses could be more secure than smartphones.

Darpa has been working to create a pair of augmented reality glasses that can protect users from hackers. The agency says it’s developing an “algorithmic framework” for software developers to use, which will help them build apps that aren’t vulnerable to attacks or breaches in privacy.

The goal is for these devices to be able to detect when someone is attempting to gain access or otherwise interfere with their functions–and then take action against such intrusions immediately and automatically without any human intervention required. In other words: If someone tries hacking into your AR device, it’ll know how best respond on its own (without any input from you).

The new proposed glasses would use biometric authentication to ensure that the user is actually who they say they are.

The new proposed glasses would use biometric authentication to ensure that the user is actually who they say they are. This means that when someone wears the glasses, their face and eye scans will be used to confirm their identity before accessing any information on the device. Additionally, a fingerprint scanner built into one of the arms of the glasses would also check for identification when it’s needed.

Using an eye scanner, the glasses could confirm that it is you before unlocking the device’s augmented reality capabilities.

The glasses would use a built-in eye scanner to confirm that it is you before unlocking the device’s augmented reality capabilities. The technology is not new; it’s already used in commercial products like smartphones and laptops, but the security of these systems has been questioned by some experts.

The idea behind this approach is that since only you have access to your unique iris pattern (or retina), no one else should be able to access sensitive information on your device or gain control over its functions. This could be especially helpful when combined with other biometric indicators like fingerprints or voice recognition: If someone tries to hack into your phone while wearing these glasses, they’d need both physical possession of them as well as access

Darpa has also worked on using smartphones as biometric authentication devices, but AR glasses could be more secure because they’re not as easily lost or stolen.

While Darpa has also worked on using smartphones as biometric authentication devices, AR glasses could be more secure because they’re not as easily lost or stolen.

“If I give my phone to someone else, I’m giving them access to all my passwords and everything else,” said Darpa program manager Timothy Haynes. “If I lose my phone, then it’s gone.”

With an eye toward security, the agency wants to ensure that its devices don’t rely solely on biometrics for authentication — otherwise one hack could compromise multiple accounts and services in one fell swoop.

While this new project will help in some ways, there’s still no way to prevent someone from hacking into your phone through Bluetooth or WiFi connections.

While this new project will help in some ways, there’s still no way to prevent someone from hacking into your phone through Bluetooth or WiFi connections.

If you have an iPhone and want to keep it secure, follow these steps:

  • Go into “Settings” on your phone and select “Privacy.” Scroll down until you see “Bluetooth.” Click on that option and make sure that the toggle switch is set to off (that means no blue). This will prevent anyone from accessing any information stored on your phone through Bluetooth connections.*
  • On Android phones, go into “Security” then select “Encryption” where there should be an option for turning encryption on or off depending on whether it’s already enabled by default; make sure this setting is turned off.*
  • On both operating systems (iOS/Android), go back into Settings again but this time click on ‘Location Services’. Make sure all three options under this heading–GPS satellites; Wi-Fi networks & cell towers; Bluetooth devices–are all disabled.*

It’s still a good idea to be careful about what information you share on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter.

While we may be able to rely on augmented reality glasses to keep us safe from hackers, it’s still a good idea to be careful about what information you share on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. These platforms are public and anyone can access them. Avoid sharing personal information such as your email address or phone number with strangers online, even if it seems harmless at first glance; there’s no guarantee someone won’t use that information against you later on. The same goes for posting photos: avoid posting pictures that show off sensitive locations (like your home) or reveal details about yourself (such as where you work).

If possible, use privacy settings so only certain people can see certain posts–and check the privacy policies before signing up for any social media accounts!

Conclusion

As we’ve seen, there are many ways that hackers can access your data. It’s important to be aware of these risks and take steps to protect yourself from them.
