Smart Glasses Recording-Indicator Trust Model (2D)

Smart glasses put a camera and microphone on someone's face, so the only thing standing between a bystander and covert surveillance is the reliability of the device's privacy indicators. This schematic simulator draws the actual circuit topology behind that trust: a recording LED that can sit in series directly on the camera's power rail (unspoofable by software) or hang off a firmware-controlled GPIO pin (and therefore able to be silently suppressed as firmware compromise rises), plus a second, independent wireless beacon that announces recording state to nearby devices over BLE and is instead attacked by signal jamming and distance. Toggle between the two wiring diagrams to see current physically forced through the hardware-wired LED whenever the camera trace is live, drag the compromise and jamming sliders to watch each channel's reliability degrade on its own axis, move the bystander closer or farther to see inverse-square signal falloff in the detection-probability readout, and track the covert-recording-incident counter to see exactly how defense-in-depth — two independently-attacked channels — keeps a single compromised component from producing silent surveillance.
