According to The Verge, Meta's smart glasses have drawn criticism over privacy and surveillance concerns. The company faces public backlash regarding how the technology could be used to monitor people without their consent.
Wearable capture devices raise the ambient-consent problem that phone apps mostly sidestep, and the backlash here is a signal that privacy-first positioning has real market pull. If you build in this space, watch how Meta handles recording indicators and bystander consent, since regulators and app stores will likely borrow whatever norms emerge. Worth checking whether any hardware you integrate with inherits the same reputational risk before you tie your product to it.
