Meta is planning to add a new feature called "Name Tag" to its smart glasses. This will let users identify people just by looking at them and ask for information through the glasses' built-in smart assistant. This move represents a remarkable technological advancement, but it also reopens a sensitive discussion about privacy and data protection. The feature relies on facial recognition technology. The glasses can identify people the user interacts with by linking to Meta account data or public profiles on its platforms. According to the proposed concept, the glasses will display names, descriptions, or other information in real-time through the smart assistant's interface, transforming social interaction into an experience powered by instant artificial intelligence. This technology is expected to be integrated into current glasses models like Ray-Ban Meta or future releases. This boosts Meta's ambitions to expand the role of wearables as integrated personal computing platforms, rather than just tools for photography or live streaming.
