Meta is developing experimental smart glasses called "super sensing" devices designed to record audio continuously and capture photographs at regular intervals throughout the day. The company proposes extracting metadata from this captured content rather than storing raw footage, allowing Meta's AI systems to process the information on their servers—an approach Meta argues provides privacy advantages compared to direct recording storage.

The project reflects Meta's vision of wearable technology evolving into constant personal assistants, but it intensifies existing privacy concerns surrounding the platform. Meta already faces scrutiny over facial recognition capabilities, reports of users filming others without clear consent, and incidents of people circumventing the recording indicator light. Despite announcing new safeguards such as disabling the camera when the LED is tampered with, the company plans to keep the indicator off during "super sensing" mode, raising questions about user awareness and consent during continuous data collection.
