Soon you won't need to remember anyone's name. Meta's glasses will do it for you

▤ Summary

Meta appears to be preparing a facial recognition feature for Ray-Ban Meta glasses even though it has not launched it publicly. Wired found code in the Meta AI companion app that points to an internal feature called NameTag, possibly to be marketed as Connections. The feature would identify people from a phone-based face database and notify the wearer when it recognizes someone. The report raises major privacy concerns because the app can store unrecognized faces and the database could be updated remotely. Meta says it has not launched the feature and is only exploring it.
