TL;DR
- Meta is reportedly planning to implement facial recognition in its smart glasses this year.
- The feature, called “Name Tag,” could identify people in view and surface information via Meta’s AI assistant.
- The move would likely spark privacy concerns, especially after previous experiments showed how Meta’s smart glasses could be used for doxing.
If you grew up on ’90s sci-fi, you’ll remember the moment when a malevolent mechanoid’s visor locks onto someone, and their name and other personal details flicker into view. Fast forward a few decades, and something not far from that scenario could be coming to a pair of smart glasses near you.
