- Facebook is considering adding facial recognition support to its augmented reality glasses.
- The company is looking into the legal and privacy issues around allowing the smart glasses to use facial recognition to identify people in the user's vicinity.
- Facebook is expected to launch its AR glasses at some point later this year.
Facebook is developing its augmented reality (AR) glasses that would compete against similar smart glasses from the competition. We saw the latest AR and VR glasses concepts at CES 2021, and some of those products will hit the market soon. Aside from Facebook, many tech companies are readying their own smart glasses technologies, with Apple’s wearables being prominently featured in recent rumors. A leak a few days ago also showed that Samsung is working on various smart glasses of its own.
It’s unclear when Facebook will launch its devices or what they’ll be able to offer users. But a new report sheds light on a creepy feature that Facebook is considering for the product. That’s facial recognition that would allow the AR glasses to recognize faces and display information on the screen about the people in the wearer's vicinity.
