META PLANS TO ADD FACIAL RECOGNITION TECHNOLOGY TO ITS SMART GLASSES

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Meta plans to add facial recognition to its Ray-Ban smart glasses later this year. Its 'Name Tag' feature will let wearers identify people and get information about them via the company's AI assistant. The company considered adding facial recognition to the first version of the glasses in 2021, but pulled back over technical challenges and ethical concerns. Meta plans to first release Name Tag to attendees at a conference for the blind before making it available to the general public.
