Meta has sold millions of pairs of its smart glasses and has collaborated with celebrities like Kylie Jenner. But Meta glasses have also been controversial, with some critics dubbing them “creep glasses”.
In this episode of Sky News Explains, Olive Enokido-Lineham goes inside the world of Meta’s smart glasses to find out how they work, what they could mean for women’s safety and privacy, and what changes when the camera is no longer in someone’s hand – but on their face.
