Meta sparks privacy fears after unveiling $299 Smart Glasses with hidden cameras: ‘You can now film everyone without them knowing’::These stylish shades may look like a regular pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarers, but they’re actually Meta’s new Smart Glasses, complete with two tiny cameras and speakers implanted in the arms. The wearable tech was unveiled by Mark Zuckerberg Wednesday at the 2023 Meta Connect conference in Menlo Park, California, sparking a frenzy online.

They must have a different approach if Google glasses tried the same thing and failed miserably.

Partnering with Luxotica/RayBan to make it look more like normal frames will keep it from being as obvious for one.

The lens on the frame and the swiping to operate it are pretty obvious to me in the demo video.

I think its going to be just as hated as google glass.

They look like normal glasses, that’s the different approach. The little camera lenses in the corners are the only giveaway.
