Meta is reportedly developing a new pair of smart glasses that does not include a camera, according to reporting cited by multiple outlets. The Information is described as the source for the claim, with Engadget and PetaPixel both noting that the change would remove the camera component from Meta’s upcoming wearable.
The context is Meta’s ongoing scrutiny of its existing smart glasses, which include cameras and have drawn attention and questions from observers. PetaPixel frames the move as potentially responding to this growing concern, while Engadget focuses on the reported product direction rather than motivations. Both outlets characterize the development as a forthcoming release or reveal, but neither provides confirmed details on timing, specifications, or whether additional sensors would be included.
At this stage, the reports indicate a camera-free version is in the works, but they do not establish when Meta will announce or ship the glasses, nor how the glasses would function without a camera.
