In a case of hilarious timing – you know, in a dystopian kind of way – a new report details Meta’s forthcoming “super sensing” smart glasses that would have microphones and cameras that are constantly active, right as the company has fixed a glaring privacy problem with existing models.
Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses have developed a reputation in the past year of being used for invasive and nefarious means, as bad actors were modifying the glasses so that their built-in privacy light would be disabled and no longer activate when the camera is active.
A mandatory update is now rolling out which addresses this problem.
Meta & Ray-Ban glasses rolling out mandatory update that disables the camera when privacy light is broken
But it comes right as a new report details Meta’s plans for “super sensing” smart glasses that have microphones and a camera that are constantly on. Financial Times details the new model, which has been previously reported on, which would apparently not turn on a privacy light when the camera is active.
