Meta is developing a new pair of smart glasses codenamed Luna that will exclude camera functionality, according to reporting from The Information. The camera-free design represents a departure from Meta's existing Ray-Ban smart glasses, which have faced significant privacy criticism over their ability to record video and audio. The decision suggests Meta is responding to growing consumer hesitation about wearable camera devices.

The Luna glasses initiative appears to be an attempt to capture market interest from buyers attracted to smart eyewear features but concerned about surveillance and recording capabilities. By removing the camera hardware entirely, Meta hopes to eliminate privacy objections that have plagued its current smart glasses offering, which has faced public backlash and concerns about potential covert filming.
