Meta Is Now Designing Its Own, Cheaper AI Smart Glasses
Meta says the glasses are meant to expand Meta AI use, while the company denies plans for facial recognition.
- On Tuesday, Meta announced a new line of AI-powered smart glasses starting at $299, marking the company's first wearable release without Ray-Ban or Oakley branding, featuring the Adventurer, Fury, and Starfire Kylie Edition designs.
- While the new eyewear drops traditional branding, Meta continues its manufacturing partnership with EssilorLuxottica to produce the glasses, aiming to expand market share before Apple enters the wearables space.
- These glasses utilize the Muse Spark AI model and retain the 12-megapixel camera found in previous generations, while supporting live translation in 20 languages and upcoming Pedestrian navigation features.
- Meta faces competition from rival tech companies, including Snap's $2,195 Specs and ongoing developments from Google, while Pew Research reports 14% of American adults use Meta AI versus 44% for ChatGPT.
- Following reports of surveillance code found in the Meta AI app earlier this month, the company confirmed these glasses include no facial recognition technology and continues exploring audio-only devices to expand its lineup.
