Meta\u2019s camera-equipped smart glasses have proven more successful<\/a> than other entrants into the market, but they have also deeply disturbed certain consumers who see them as invasive emblems of a dystopian surveillance society run amok. Now, as the company weathers complaints that it\u2019s selling \u201cpervert glasses,\u201d it has reportedly decided to sell a pair that doesn\u2019t come with integrated spy equipment.<\/p>\n

Luna may be unveiled as soon as Meta Connect, Meta\u2019s annual hardware\/developer event happening in Menlo Park next week, the outlet notes.<\/p>\n
