Meta to Launch Camera-Free Smartglasses Following Privacy Concerns
Yahoo Finance ·
Meta is preparing to introduce a camera-free variant of its smart eyewear in response to severe public backlash over unauthorized recordings. Existing models, equipped with outward-facing lenses, faced intense scrutiny and bans in various UK venues, schools, and cinemas after being exploited by pranksters to capture individuals without consent. Codenamed Luna, the upcoming device relies primarily on audio interaction via six embedded microphones linked to Meta's Muse AI, offering a sleeker design and longer battery longevity. The gadget is slated for official unveiling at the upcoming Meta Connect event scheduled for September 23-24. Alongside this release, Meta plans to introduce an upgraded version of its camera-enabled glasses featuring robust safeguards to prevent LED tampering, as well as a new augmented reality headset rivalling Apple's Vision Pro.
