Meta Might Be About to Release Smart Glasses Without a Camera
The model would add six microphones and a quick Meta AI button as Meta tries to win over privacy-conscious buyers.
On Tuesday, The Information reported that Meta plans to release a camera-free pair of smart glasses, internally code-named Luna, this fall to address privacy concerns.
Critics have labeled Meta's current smart glasses models 'pervert glasses' due to recording capabilities; the company hopes the camera-free design will attract hesitant customers.
Equipped with six microphones, Luna allows users to speak with Meta's AI chatbot and Muse, the company's newly launched consumer AI agent, via a side button.
Meta could unveil Luna at the annual Connect developer conference on Sept 23 and 24, with the company targeting October for shipments of the slimmer-temple design.
While current models include LED lights to indicate recording, Meta closed a loophole in August that allowed users to secretly film others, prompting this camera-free approach.
