Meta is reportedly exploring a new direction for its wearable tech lineup. The company's next smart glasses could address one of the industry's biggest privacy concerns by launching without a built-in camera.
Smart glasses equipped with front-facing cameras have long drawn scrutiny over bystander privacy and the potential for covert recording in public spaces. By eliminating the camera hardware entirely, Meta could significantly reduce friction among consumers and venues that restrict recording devices.
Without a camera, the device would likely shift its focus toward other smart capabilities, such as audio playback, voice controls, and AI assistant integration, offering a more discreet and socially acceptable alternative to traditional smart eyewear.
