What is special about the magic glasses of police? Hi-tech camera and software, always connected to the phone
Last Updated:
This time a unique incarnation of ‘Smart Policing’ is being seen to make the security of Republic Day impenetrable in the country’s capital Delhi. Such ‘magical’ black glasses have been included in the fleet of Delhi Police, which will not just be a means of protection from the sun, but will prove to be a deterrent for terrorists and dreaded criminals. The biggest feature of these AI glasses, which are being used for the first time, is that it identifies every person passing in front in the blink of an eye.
On Wednesday, police officers were seen patrolling the busy streets of Delhi wearing these glasses and testing them. In view of the possible terrorist threats looming on Republic Day, security agencies have made many major changes in the security circle, in which these AI glasses are the most important. When the policemen deployed on duty look at the crowd wearing these glasses, no suspect will be able to disappear from their sight even if they want to.
These glasses are completely ‘indigenous’ and have been prepared by Delhi Police in collaboration with a private Indian company in one year. This time, during the Republic Day celebrations, dozens of policemen will be on alert in the duty line and the sensitive areas around it wearing these goggles. This technology will not only help in catching criminals, but will also present the ‘tech-savvy’ image of Delhi Police to the world.
These glasses are fully equipped with ‘face recognition’ technology and state-of-the-art cameras. Each spectacle is wirelessly connected to a special mobile device, which is worn in the policeman’s pocket or belt. These glasses not only work for seeing, but also continuously scan every activity and face going on in front and process its data.

To make this digital maze of security more lethal, a database of about 65 thousand notorious criminals and terrorists has been fed into these mobile devices. As soon as any wanted criminal or suspect comes into the vision field of these glasses, it will alert the policeman. After which, without wasting any time, the suspect can be caught amidst the crowd.
The functioning of these advanced AI glasses seems like something out of a science-fiction movie, with a unique combination of cameras, sensors and thermal imaging. If any person tries to enter with prohibited items during the parade, these glasses will detect him immediately. This AI system is capable of analyzing not only the face but also the body structure and suspicious behavior, thereby increasing the level of security manifold.
The thermal scanning feature inside the glasses makes it even more special, with the help of which policemen can scan people’s body heat from a distance. If a person has hidden a weapon or any suspicious object inside his clothes, the thermal sensors will identify it immediately. This feature has emerged as the most effective way to conduct security checks in crowded areas without disturbing anyone.
It has often been seen that big criminals try to dodge the security by changing their appearance or wearing fake beard and moustache, but these AI glasses will recognize their real face. The AI algorithm maps those facial points which do not change even when the appearance changes, thereby ensuring the identification of the criminal. As soon as identification is made, this system is also capable of sending alerts directly to the police control room.
In this new era of smart policing, these glasses have become a third eye for Delhi Police which will never sleep nor make mistakes. With data of more than 65 thousand criminals, these glasses will act like a strong security wall to prevent any untoward incident.
