Meta's smart glasses app contains code for facial recognition, called NameTag, which can capture faces and notify the wearer when it recognizes a previously captured face. The feature is not currently enabled or sending biometric data to Meta's servers. Meta was interested in launching the feature during a 'dynamic political environment' in the US. The feature poses serious ethical concerns, but also potential accessibility benefits for users with visual impairments.
