Meta Glasses Explained: Fashion trend or privacy nightmare?

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".

We also put our questions directly to one of Meta’s senior directors responsible for its AI glasses.
