据报道Meta正准备推出不带摄像头的新款智能眼镜

内容总结:

Meta被曝正筹备推出无摄像头智能眼镜。据The Information报道,该公司希望在当前型号引发隐私担忧的背景下,借新款产品吸引更多用户。报道称,Meta正在开发一款不配备摄像头的智能眼镜,并计划最早于今年10月开始出货。该媒体称,Meta可能在定于9月23日至24日举行的年度Connect开发者大会上发布这款名为Luna的新品。据报道,Luna将有两种款式,分别名为Clubmaster和Burbank。

虽然新款产品没有摄像头,但将内置六个麦克风和朝向用户耳部的扬声器,让用户可以与Meta的AI聊天机器人对话。毕竟这仍是一副智能眼镜,只是去掉了那个让批评者将Meta当前型号称为“偷拍眼镜”的组件。Luna的镜腿侧面将设有一个按钮,用户按下即可快速激活Meta AI,但镜腿更细,外观看起来与普通眼镜无异。

尽管Meta的智能眼镜销量不错,但该公司正面临大量批评,人们担心这些设备可能被用来偷窥女性,以及秘密拍摄和骚扰他人。Meta的眼镜确实设有防偷拍功能:用户录制时LED灯会持续闪烁。但此前曾有人可以篡改LED灯,使其在摄像头录制时不亮起,直到该公司推出更新修复了这一问题。今年8月,Meta还发布更新,堵住了一个允许用户在录制开始后遮住LED灯来秘密拍摄他人的漏洞。

即便做出了这些改进,Meta的眼镜已经落下了不好的名声,这可能让一些人望而却步。据报道,该公司希望Luna能促使犹豫不决的潜在客户最终下单购买。

Meta is reportedly gearing up to launch new smart glasses without a camera
The company is hoping they would attract new customers amid privacy concerns over current models, The Information says.
Meta is developing a pair of smart glasses without a camera and is planning to start shipping the new model as soon as this October, according to The Information. The publication says Meta could unveil the new model dubbed Luna at its upcoming annual Connect developer conference scheduled on September 23 and 24. Luna will reportedly come in two styles, one called Clubmaster and another named Burbank.
While the new model won't have a camera, it will come with six built-in microphones and speakers that point towards the user's ears, which will give users a way to talk to Meta's AI chatbot. It's still a pair of smart glasses, after all, just without the component that's making critics call Meta's current models "pervert glasses." Luna will have a button on the side that users can press to quickly activate Meta AI, but it will have slimmer temples that will make it look like ordinary eyewear.
While Meta's glasses have been selling well, the company is getting a lot of flak over concerns that the devices can be used to creep on women and to secretly record and harass people in general. Meta's glasses do have an anti-creep feature: LED lights that continue to blink while the user is recording. However, it used to be possible to tamper with the LED so that it doesn't light up even while the camera is recording, until the company rolled out an update to address that. In August, Meta also released an update to close a loophole that allowed users to secretly film others by covering the LED light after the recording has already started.
Even with those changes, Meta's glasses have already gained a bad rep that may be preventing people from getting a pair. The company is reportedly hoping that Luna can urge hesitating potential customers to finally make the purchase.
