Meta ditches the camera on its newest smart glasses

Meta launched the Ray-Ban Meta Audio Glasses at Meta Connect 2026 — smart glasses featuring Meta AI but no camera. The move comes as public backlash against wearable surveillance technology intensifies, though Meta says audio-only glasses have been in development for years.

Background

Smart glasses with cameras, like earlier Ray-Ban Meta models, have faced public criticism over privacy and unauthorized recording concerns. Meta has been expanding its smart glasses lineup across multiple price points and form factors.
