Meta's New Glasses: No Cameras, Just AI
16 Sep
Summary
- Meta is launching camera-less smart glasses next week.
- The new glasses, codenamed Luna, will feature six microphones.
- Luna glasses will focus on AI assistance with no recording capabilities.
Meta is reportedly set to unveil camera-free smart glasses next week, a move designed to address widespread privacy concerns. These new wearables, internally codenamed Luna, aim to overcome the negative reception of previous models which faced criticism for their recording abilities.
The upcoming Luna glasses will reportedly feature six microphones, allowing for robust interaction with Meta's AI assistant and the Muse AI agent. While they will include audio speakers and a button for quick access to Meta AI, the absence of a camera is the key differentiator.
This launch follows Meta's efforts to improve its smart glasses' reputation, including software updates to block recording if the capture LED is tampered with. Instagram has also begun removing inappropriate videos filmed with the devices. The Luna glasses, expected in Clubmaster and Burbank styles, could begin shipping in October.
