Meta to Launch Camera-Free Smart Glasses Named Luna

Meta is reportedly preparing to launch a new model of smart glasses called Luna, which will not feature cameras, potentially alleviating privacy concerns for individuals who are uncomfortable with being filmed. This information was reported by The Information on September 15.

The release is anticipated for autumn, but it remains a planned initiative rather than a confirmed launch. Current Meta smart glasses include a white capture light to indicate when photos or videos are being recorded.

Meta has stated that the cameras are disabled if the light is covered. Additionally, the company has introduced updates to detect physical damage to recording indicators and has taken action against businesses promoting tampering services.

Despite these measures, the effectiveness of the recording indicator relies on nearby individuals recognizing it. An app named ZuckOff, developed by Pawel Szydlowski, has gained over 6,000 downloads and can detect nearby smart glasses via Bluetooth, although it cannot confirm if recording is taking place.
