Meta announced its first camera-free AI glasses, Ray-Ban Meta Audio, with audio-only features for music, podcasts, calls, translation, and its Muse assistant. They start at $349, weigh 43 grams, and are rated for up to 12 hours per charge or 48 hours with the case; preorders begin October 13. TechCrunch connects the camera-free design to privacy criticism of camera-equipped smart glasses.
