Meta Updates Ray-Ban Smart Glasses to Stop Recordings if LED Is Covered
Meta adds a software patch so covering the indicator light halts video on its Ray-Ban smart glasses.

Ars Technica and Cybernews report that Meta updated its Ray-Ban smart glasses so the camera stops if the recording LED is covered. Earlier tweets noted the devices earned the label "pervert glasses" after users filmed without obvious signs. A Verge reporter shared venue bans on the glasses. One account described a Meta patent for a hardware kill switch, while another pointed to prior undisclosed recording sent to the company. The new fix addresses the LED bypass but leaves voice capture and street-level camera presence unchanged, according to visible posts.
