Meta plans to ship its camera-free smart glasses, codenamed Luna, in October. According to The Information, the model could be unveiled at the Connect conference on September 23 and 24 and may be offered in Clubmaster and Burbank designs. The glasses are intended to enable voice interaction without a phone through six microphones, speakers directed toward the ears, and a physical button that activates Meta AI. Removing the camera will allow for slimmer temples and a more traditional eyewear appearance. Camera-equipped models, which had attracted interest in the market, faced criticism over the possibility of unauthorized recording. It emerged that the LED indicating a recording could be disabled, prompting Meta to release a software update that made this more difficult.
Why it matters
The removal of the camera indicates that Meta is creating a separate use case for smart glasses that emphasizes voice-based AI interaction rather than video recording. This choice could eliminate one of the main causes of the growing privacy debate surrounding the possibility of unauthorized recording with camera-equipped models and the ability to disable the recording LED. A more traditional eyewear appearance could also expand the target audience to include people who do not want a camera but do want to use the speakers and Meta AI features. However, the presence of six microphones leaves unanswered questions about how voice interaction is activated and how privacy is protected. The fact that the product details and the launch and shipping schedule come from The Information also means they have not been officially announced by Meta.
