> If augmented reality glasses advance to the point where you can’t easily tell from a distance, then make the students hand them over for a close inspection.

We had a 'fix' for this back when they checked your TI83. It's a 2 line basic program to display "MEMORY CLEAR" the exact same way as if somebody had spent the time to find the actual memory clear function in the settings.

It’s a cat and mouse game. But I’m saying look for the display hardware, batteries and cameras that won’t be so easily hidden.

Also I was in high school in the prime time for this hack and I never saw someone actually use it despite the stories.

And just like with the TI calculators, the school can resort to handing out standardized glasses to those who need them and ban bringing your own.
