Prepare to be amazed by these trendy eyewear options.
While they may resemble regular Ray-Ban Wayfarers, these stylish shades are actually Meta’s new Smart Glasses equipped with hidden cameras and speakers embedded in the arms.
The cutting-edge glasses were unveiled by Mark Zuckerberg at the 2023 Meta Connect conference in Menlo Park, California, causing a frenzy on the internet.
While some applaud the revolutionary nature of these Smart Glasses, others express concerns over privacy as the built-in cameras enable wearers to discreetly capture photos and videos.
In addition to their advanced AI capabilities, the glasses can identify real-time locations and objects and provide instant translations for foreign languages.
During the conference, Zuckerberg declared, “Smart glasses are the perfect form factor for AI assistants to see and hear what you are experiencing.”
“You can now film everyone without them knowing it! It’s a bit obvious when you’re walking into public toilets with your phone in the air compared to wearing glasses at the urinals.”

“Advancements in AI allow us to create various applications and personas that help us achieve different goals,” further stated the Facebook founder. He added that “Smart glasses will eventually combine all of these features into a stylish wearable device.”
Meta introduced its initial line of Smart Glasses last year, but the second-generation model boasts even more impressive technology and a sleeker, more inconspicuous design.
The glasses feature two ultrawide 12 MP cameras, allowing wearers to record up to a minute of 1080p videos. Users can also livestream footage directly to Instagram and Facebook.
Meta claims that these glasses are perfect for outdoor activities and events like art shows, enabling wearers to capture memories without having to rely on their smartphones.
“You can even share photos with friends and family directly from your glasses using a simple voice command,” according to a press release.
However, skeptics took to social media to express concerns about privacy implications of these smart glasses.
“You can now film everyone without them knowing it!” one individual wrote, humorously remarking, “It’s a bit obvious when you’re walking into public toilets with your phone in the air compared to wearing glasses at the urinals.”
“Closing all the gaps of whatever privacy we have left,” complained another user.
Expressing similar concerns, yet another worried that “the AI integration will be able to identify the people in the livestream who didn’t sign up for that.” They concluded with a firm “No thanks!”
Despite these reservations, the Smart Glasses have received praise from many Meta enthusiasts. These glasses will be available in stores starting from October 17, with a retail price of $299.
Reflecting on the rapid technological advancements, one excited individual tweeted, “Imagine having this kind of technology in a pair of glasses 10 years ago… and for only $299!”
Another enthusiast declared, “This is a game changer for sure.”
