Meta is reportedly developing a new pair of smart glasses without a built-in camera. The glasses, said to be called Meta Luna, would offer Meta AI and hands-free audio while avoiding one of the privacy concerns associated with the company’s existing camera-equipped glasses.

The Information reported that Meta could unveil Luna at its annual developer conference on September 23 and 24. The glasses are then expected to ship in October, although Meta has not publicly confirmed the product, its launch plans or those dates.

What Meta Luna reportedly includes

According to the report, Luna will have six microphones integrated into the frame. The microphones would support voice interactions with Meta AI, allowing users to speak to the assistant directly through the glasses.

The glasses are also expected to include speakers aimed toward the wearer’s ears. That design would let Luna provide audio without using a camera, while keeping the main interaction focused on voice commands and responses.

A physical button on the side of the frame is reportedly planned as a quick way to activate Meta AI. The available information does not specify what other controls, sensors or smart features the glasses may include.

Camera-free glasses could address privacy concerns

Meta’s existing smart glasses include cameras, which allow users to capture photos and video from a first-person perspective. A camera-free model could appeal to people who want connected audio and an AI assistant but do not need or want recording hardware on their face.

The move may also make the glasses easier to use in settings where cameras create privacy concerns. However, the report does not describe any specific policies or restrictions Meta intends to apply to Luna, and it does not confirm whether the glasses will share a broader design with the company’s current models.

Meta Luna launch timing remains unconfirmed

Meta’s developer conference is reportedly scheduled for September 23 and 24, making it the likely venue for a formal announcement if the company proceeds with the product. The glasses are expected to reach customers in October, but pricing, availability and a precise release date have not been reported.

Until Meta makes an announcement, Luna’s name, specifications and launch schedule should be treated as unconfirmed. The reported camera-free design would give Meta another way to position smart glasses, separating voice and AI features from the camera-based experience offered by its existing lineup.
