Reviewers split on Meta's new AI glasses: camera-free version preferred, always-on scary

Vaibhav Sisinty spent a full day at Meta Connect 2026 with only Meta's new AI glasses and interviewed Wearables VP Alex Himel, who runs his personal AI agent across 3 phones and 23 pairs of smart glasses. Highlights include live AI translation, the display glasses, and the leaked Project Hatch. Retransmitters argue the camera-free version is the only appealing option, and that Meta's 'AI that sees what you see' bet misreads user discomfort with always-on devices.
