Meta Plans Camera-Free Luna Smart Glasses Emphasizing AI and Audio FeaturesPreviousNext

Meta is developing new smart glasses called Luna, expected to launch in October and showcased at Meta Connect 2026. Unlike previous models, Luna will omit cameras to address privacy concerns, focusing instead on audio and AI features with six microphones, built-in speakers, and a dedicated AI assistant button. Two designs, Clubmaster and Burbank, aim for a conventional eyewear look. The move responds to criticism over privacy issues linked to camera-equipped smart glasses, with Meta emphasizing voice interaction without recording worries.
