Meta is gearing up to release a new version of its smart glasses that excludes integrated cameras, according to a report by The Information. The device, currently known by the internal code name “Luna,” is expected to launch this fall, with potential shipments beginning as early as October.
The underlying reporting is available from kfgo.com.
This shift in hardware design comes amid increasing public and regulatory scrutiny regarding the recording capabilities of wearable technology. By removing the camera, Meta aims to offer a version of its smart eyewear that bypasses privacy concerns associated with constant video surveillance, while still maintaining the core functionality of its AI-driven ecosystem.
The “Luna” glasses will feature six built-in microphones designed to facilitate seamless interaction with Meta’s AI chatbot and its recently introduced consumer AI agent, Muse. According to The Information, the device will include a dedicated button on the frame to trigger the AI assistant, alongside speakers comparable to those found in Meta’s current Ray-Ban smart glasses lineup. Meta has not yet provided an official comment on the reported specifications or launch schedule.
Industry analysts anticipate that Meta may formally unveil the device during its annual Connect developer conference, which is scheduled for next week. If the timeline holds, the company intends to position these glasses as a discreet, audio-centric alternative to its camera-equipped models, potentially lowering the barrier to entry for users uncomfortable with recording features in public spaces.
