Smart glasses are rapidly gaining attention, but growing concerns over privacy are raising questions about their use in public spaces. Meta’s AI-powered smart glasses, developed with brands such as Ray-Ban and Oakley, allow users to take photos, record videos, play music and interact with AI through voice commands.
Critics have highlighted cases where people, particularly women, were reportedly filmed without their knowledge and the footage later shared online. Some businesses, schools and entertainment venues have responded by restricting smart glasses on their premises.
Meta has introduced measures aimed at privacy protection, including software designed to restrict recording when users tamper with the glasses’ recording indicator. The company is also expanding the product range with camera-free audio glasses. Meanwhile, Google and Snap are preparing competing products, suggesting that smart glasses could become a major area of competition in consumer technology.
