Meta’s camera-equipped smart glasses have proven more successful than other entrants into the market, but they have also deeply disturbed certain consumers who see them as invasive emblems of a dystopian surveillance society run amok. Now, as the company weathers complaints that it’s selling “pervert glasses,” it has reportedly decided to sell a pair that doesn’t come with integrated spy equipment.
The Information reports that Meta is developing a new smart glasses model, dubbed Luna, that, sans cameras, comes equipped with a convenient system to communicate with the company’s AI chatbot and Muse, its AI consumer agent. The glasses include six built-in microphones so users can communicate with the chatbot, as well as a button on the side of the glasses that, when pressed, activates the AI system.
