Overview

• Meta is internally testing a facial recognition feature, called 'super sensing,' for future AI-powered smart glasses and earphones.
• The feature would allow wearers to identify nearby individuals by scanning their faces, but bystanders would not have the ability to opt out or be notified.
• Meta is considering removing the LED indicator that currently signals camera usage, raising additional transparency concerns.
• Two next-generation smart glasses, codenamed Aperol and Bellini, are reportedly in development for a 2026 release, with extended battery life enabling hours of AI functionality.
• Updated privacy policies for current Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses now default-enable AI and mandate voice recording storage for model training.
