Would you buy Meta’s smart glasses without a camera?
Meta reportedly plans camera-free Luna smart glasses as privacy concerns grow and apps like ZuckOff help people detect camera-equipped pairs nearby.
Meta is reportedly developing a new pair of smart glasses called Luna, which would not have a camera. This development comes amid growing backlash against camera-equipped glasses, with venues banning them, activists putting up spoof ads, and people being filmed without their knowledge. Luna would focus on audio capabilities, with six microphones for interacting with Meta's AI assistant, directional speakers, and a button to quickly activate Meta AI.
The glasses could come in two styles, Clubmaster and Burbank. While Luna would still have microphones, removing the camera could address one immediate privacy concern. However, the presence of microphones still raises privacy questions. The new model, Luna, could debut at Meta's Connect conference on September 23-24, according to unnamed sources familiar with the plans.
