Meta to Launch Camera-Free Smart Glasses Amid Privacy Concerns at Connect Event
Meta is set to unveil new smart glasses at its annual Connect conference, including camera-free models aimed at addressing privacy concerns. The company, which sold over seven million smart glasses last year developed with EssilorLuxottica, faces criticism over potential covert recording and a pending California class-action lawsuit alleging privacy violations. While the camera-free glasses may reduce some concerns, analysts note that features like microphones remain, and removing cameras could impact demand. Meta also plans to showcase AI-powered products, including its Muse digital assistant.
