Meta has unveiled a camera-free version of its Ray-Ban smart glasses called Ray-Ban Meta Audio, responding to widespread privacy concerns and public backlash over the original model's use in non-consensual filming and harassment. While Meta denies the product was rushed, the audio-only glasses offer phone calls and music playback with improved battery life and lower cost. The original camera-enabled model remains controversial, banned in UK venues like JD Wetherspoon pubs, theatres, and Faslane naval base, and criticized by privacy advocates who argue it enables surveillance and violates women's safety. Despite this, Meta continues development of camera-enabled glasses, with a third-generation model set for UK release next month featuring lens-based displays. Industry analysts view the audio version as a strategic pivot or niche product, while some see it as a way to reduce stigma around wearing smart glasses in public.
