Ray-Ban Meta privacy problems go from bad to worse with nightmarish 'super sensing' feature
Android Police • • business
Key Points:
- Meta is reportedly testing a "super sensing" feature for its Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses that would disable the LED recording light and allow continuous audio and video recording, raising significant privacy concerns.
- The feature aims to use AI to catalog daily recordings for real-time memory search, but the lack of an indicator light could enable covert recording without others' knowledge.
- This development follows Meta's recent software update that disables the camera if the LED indicator is tampered with, alongside increased moderation against tools that disable the LED light.
- The "super sensing" concept aligns with the life-logging trend, which has struggled due to privacy issues and limited user interest, as seen with other devices like MemoMind One smartglasses that rely on audio-only memory summaries.
- As the feature is still in prototype testing and not officially announced, it may never be released publicly, especially given the ongoing backlash against privacy risks associated with Ray-Ban Meta cameras.
