Meta patents physical mute button for smart glasses to boost privacy

Meta has submitted a patent application for a hardware-based mute switch intended to improve the security of its smart glasses. In contrast to software-based solutions, this physical circuit fully disconnects power to the device's camera and microphone, ensuring that remote hacking or unauthorized usage is not possible. This development is designed to address rising privacy worries and stop individuals from using the glasses to record others without their consent.
