Meta has unveiled a new pair of camera-free smart glasses as the company expands its AI-powered wearable technology. The move comes as smart glasses face growing scrutiny over privacy, consent and the potential for people to be recorded without their knowledge.
Reuters reports that Meta is positioning camera-free glasses as one response to these concerns, while continuing to expand AI capabilities across its wearable ecosystem. The companyβs broader push also includes its Muse AI assistant, which Meta is integrating into its smart-glasses lineup for tasks such as shopping, appointments and other voice-controlled activities.
The development highlights a broader technology challenge: how companies can make AI wearables more useful while giving users and bystanders greater privacy, awareness and control.
