The Inmo Go 3 has a camera cover that speaks volumes about smart glasses right now.
sh*t, as they say, tends to roll downhill, and even non-Meta purveyors of smart glasses might be starting to get bashful about their products.smart glasses. The glasses, which were officially announced a few months back, include quite a few things we’ve already seen: a binocular monochrome screen, a ring for controlling the glasses UI, AI capabilities, and navigation.
There are also some noteworthy surprises, including swappable batteries and something I’ve not seen in other pairs: a physical cover for its built-in camera. According to Inmo’s official launch email, the Go 3 have a “built-in physical camera privacy cover for comfortable use in public.” It’s not much, but clearly Inmo seems to be aware that you might not want to have a camera visible on your face on some occasions, especially “in public,” as it writes. What’s even more interesting is that I can’t see any reference to that physical cover in prior launch materials, including athat seems to go through basically every other feature of the smart glasses. I’ve reached out to Inmo to clarify if the cover is a new addition or just now being promoted.And even if it’s not newly added, the fact that Inmo feels a camera cover is even marketable enough to list among the key features should tell you a lot—namely, that smart glasses are a sensitive subject right now. A big part of that touchiness can be attributed to Meta, which is at the center of a couple of different controversies. One of those controversies has to do with its handling of videos taken with the Ray-Ban AI glasses, specifically that the company has been sending videos to be reviewed by human subcontractors in an effort to help train its AI.The so-called built-in camera cover for the Inmo Go 3 smart glasses looks like a sticker? Maybe? Who even knows. © Screenshot by Gizmodo On top of that, the U.S. Senate is also starting to get involved. In a letter addressed to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, U.S. Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley inquired officially aboutGiven all the scrutiny, it wouldn’t be surprising to see non-Meta brands lean into stronger privacy features that distance themselves from Ray-Bans. Maybe that’s just adopting more responsible policies on how they use data from customers, or maybe, in Inmo’s case, an option to cover cameras up, though the last one could also just be a way to avoid scrutiny in public. No matter which way you spin it, the smart glasses environment is a fraught one, and Meta might not be the only one that has to shift the way it makes hardware as a result.Microsoft Office Suite and Windows 11 Pro Bundle Is Now 90% Off With March Madness Savings, One-Time Fee for a Lifetime LicenseSamsung Bespoke AI Refrigerator Wants to Take the Stress Out of the KitchenMeta Quest VR Headset Users to Lose Access to Horizon Worlds, Legs and All
