- Smart glasses apps can now be built with privacy protections using a real-time privacy filter.
- The filter processes live video to anonymize faces of non-consenting individuals (blur or ellipse masking).
- Manages consent by detecting verbal cues like 'I consent to be captured'.
- Operates in real-time at 720p 30fps on a laptop, with 100% offline processing.
- Developer-friendly features include easy camera replacement, RTMP input, multiple output formats, and HTTP API for control.
- Works with AI Assistants, Social Apps, Enterprise recording, Content Creation, and more.
- Built with FFmpeg, OpenCV, Faster Whisper, and Phi-3.5 Mini for technical processing.
- Future enhancements include integration guides, additional privacy filters, speech anonymization, and more.
