Meta to Launch Camera-Free Smart Glasses Amid Privacy Concerns
Meta is reportedly developing a new smart glasses model called Luna, which will not include cameras. This move comes in response to consumer backlash over privacy concerns and accusations of selling 'perv glasses.' The device features six built-in microphones for interacting with Meta's AI chatbot and Muse, an AI agent, along with a dedicated button on the side of the glasses to activate these systems. The Luna model is expected to be unveiled at Meta Connect in Menlo Park next week. While Meta has seen some success in the smart glasses market, concerns around usability, cost, and privacy have limited adoption. Additionally, Meta's Reality Labs division continues to report significant financial losses despite its efforts in this space.
