Meta Reportedly Preparing Camera-Free Smart Glasses Called Luna
The company is said to replace a camera with microphones and built-in access to Meta AI to lower privacy risks and simplify the product.
Overview
- The Information reported on Sept. 15 that Meta plans a camera-free smart-glasses model codenamed Luna, a claim repeated by multiple outlets but not confirmed by Meta.
- According to the reports, Luna would drop a front-facing camera and instead include six microphones, inward-facing speakers and a side button to quickly summon Meta AI and the Muse agent.
- Meta could unveil Luna at its Connect developer conference next week and is reportedly targeting October for shipments, though the company has not responded to requests for comment.
- The shift follows recent steps by Meta to address privacy concerns, including remotely disabling cameras on tampered glasses, removing online tampering instructions and facing amended class-action claims about bystander recordings.
- If real, the redesign would reduce the risk of visual recording in public places but also remove AR and vision features, so watchers should look for Meta’s confirmation and details about pricing, capabilities and venue access rules.
