Meta is reportedly gearing up to expand its wearable lineup with a new pair of smart glasses that omit an onboard camera, according to a report from Engadget.
While Meta's previous smart glasses have prominently featured cameras for capturing media and powering vision-based AI tools, a camera-free model could target users looking primarily for audio playback, hands-free voice assistance, and everyday convenience without the social friction that cameras often introduce.
Removing the camera sensor could also alleviate privacy concerns in sensitive environments like workplaces and gyms where recording hardware is restricted. Additionally, the move could potentially allow for a lighter form factor, longer battery endurance, and a more affordable price tag, though official hardware configurations have yet to be confirmed.
