WhatA hardware/software system that broadcasts a Bluetooth signal to automatically disable recording on smart glasses and phones within a defined physical zone — sold to courthouses, law offices, hospitals, and corporate facilities.
SignalMultiple commenters independently arrived at the same conclusion: blanket bans are unenforceable and will fail, but a technical standard where venues can broadcast a 'no recording' signal to nearby devices is the only scalable solution. One commenter explicitly called for an industry-wide Bluetooth beacon standard.
Why NowThe Philadelphia court ban is the first domino — venue operators nationwide now face the question of enforcement, and a pure policy approach clearly won't scale as smart glasses become indistinguishable from normal eyewear.
MarketCourthouses (3,000+ in US), hospitals (6,000+), law firms, corporate boardrooms, government facilities. Sell hardware beacon + SaaS management dashboard. No direct competitor — this is a greenfield category. Closest analog is phone signal jammers, which are illegal.
MoatNetwork effects: the more venues that adopt the standard, the more pressure on device manufacturers to support it. First mover sets the protocol. If you get Meta/Apple to integrate your spec, you own the ecosystem.
