After accusations of selling ‘perv glasses,’ Meta prepares to sell a pair without a camera

Following the success of its camera-equipped smart glasses, Meta has faced backlash from consumers who view the devices as invasive surveillance tools. In response, the company is reportedly developing a new model, codenamed Luna, which lacks integrated cameras. The new glasses feature six built-in microphones for interacting with Meta's AI chatbot and its AI consumer agent, Muse, along with a physical button to activate the system. The device may be unveiled at the upcoming Meta Connect event. Despite Meta's leading position in the smart glasses market, the division responsible for their development, Reality Labs, continues to report significant financial losses. Concerns regarding privacy, cost, and usability remain major hurdles for the company's hardware strategy.
