Meta has filed a patent application describing a “memory recall” system for smart glasses that could identify people through facial recognition, detect actions, automatically capture video, and later generate highlight reels. An illustrated example depicts the system recognizing moments at a dinner party and offering a user generated highlights from the event. The patent materials described in the report do not show a prompt seeking permission before recording begins. Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses use a white capture LED that blinks while content is recorded. Meta says covering or disabling the LED automatically disables the camera, and has released updates intended to prevent recording when the light is malfunctioning or obscured. Meta has also promoted the indicator as a distinction from phones and action cameras, which generally lack an outward-facing recording light. A patent filing does not establish that Meta will release the feature. The report also says a future version of the glasses might record without the indicator light, which would remove the visible signal currently intended to notify bystanders of recording. Meta was also reported earlier in 2026 to have sent clips containing bank details, sexual activity, and nude people to workers for AI training with limited privacy protections.
