It seems many if not all of today's AR glasses use Bluetooth, which means that if you're close enough, it should be possible to detect people who are wearing them (and/or anything else that's using Bluetooth)

What's the difference compared to apps that shows BT devices around you?

I read the article and that's why I'm asking what's the difference.

For example I use an app, AirGuard, which can tell what devices are around me and I think it could tell the difference like it can spot AirTags and such.

Leagues less complex and standalone.

I have no idea what you just said.
