Meta, the Facebook company, is bringing its AR glasses with display to Germany as well.
There are currently data protection debates about camera glasses from among others Meta. However, the Facebook group is pressing ahead and bringing a model with a display to the market in Germany.
Meta is launching its smart glasses with camera and display in Germany and other European countries on October 13, priced at €899. The device, which allows users to take photos and videos, also uses AI to understand what the user is seeing and adapt its responses. A light indicator shows when the camera is active, and Meta claims it is taking steps to prevent misuse, including shutting down devices with manipulated indicators and scanning platforms like Instagram and Facebook for videos of harassment.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg also announced that some interactions with the glasses will be end-to-end encrypted, and the company has developed a version of the glasses without a camera.
