Meta Tests Ray-Ban Glasses Feature That Disables Recording LED for 24/7 AI Capture

Summary
Meta is reportedly testing a prototype "super sensing" mode for Ray-Ban smart glasses that would turn off the recording LED and let the camera and microphones capture snippets continuously.
The feature would use AI to catalog photos, video and audio into searchable "memories," and could reach existing glasses through a software update if Meta approves it.
That test cuts against Meta's July 7 update, which disabled the camera when users tamper with the privacy light and tightened moderation of tools that help hide recording.
The apparent reversal lands amid broader privacy backlash over covert recording and revives life-logging ambitions that have repeatedly struggled to gain mainstream acceptance.
