LifestyleBBCThey were labelled 'pervert glasses'. Will a camera-free version transform their image?
Meta has launched camera-free Ray-Ban smart glasses after its original AI glasses were dubbed pervert glasses and banned from pubs, theatres and schools over privacy concerns.
Meta has unveiled audio-only smart glasses, with some questioning whether it is a response to the backlash over privacy.
Meta has unveiled a new audio-only version of its Ray-Ban smart glasses that has no camera, amid ongoing backlash over privacy concerns with the original model.
The original glasses were banned from JD Wetherspoon pubs, major theatres, Comic-Con, some schools and even Faslane, home of the UK's nuclear submarines, after reports of women being filmed without consent.
Meta denies the camera-free version was rushed out in response to public anger, saying it has been in development for two years and offers a lighter frame and better battery life at a lower price.
