Meta Reportedly Weighs Camera-Free Smart Glasses With Six Microphones
Meta is reportedly considering camera-free smart glasses, internally codenamed Luna, that would use six microphones for Meta AI and Muse and could be announced at Meta Connect next week.
The glasses are internally codenamed Luna, according to the report. They would reportedly include six microphones, allowing users to talk to Meta AI and the company's agentic AI, Muse. The device could also include a side button for quickly launching Meta AI, and it is said to carry forward the same speaker setup used on Meta's existing smart glasses.
That would mark a change from Meta's current smart glasses, which have built-in cameras and LEDs that are easy to modify. The camera-equipped glasses are designed to look nearly indistinguishable from regular sunglasses, and their recording capabilities have raised privacy concerns. A camera-free version would remove the feature most directly tied to those concerns, although the report does not indicate whether Meta has decided to release such a product.
The report says the glasses could be announced at Meta Connect next week. It describes a possible product direction rather than a confirmed launch, and it does not say whether Meta has committed to releasing the device. Android Authority reported the details from The Information.
