Meta is rolling out a software update after discovering a rare issue in which some of its AI glasses become 'too warm' when sweat or moisture gets inside the device. The fix applies to Meta-branded frames including Adventurer, Fury, Starfire, Nova and Capri models, while Oakley and Ray-Ban versions are unaffected. Meta is offering free replacements to users whose glasses shut down due to the issue.
WIRED's review of Meta's third-generation Nova smart glasses finds a smaller, less noticeable camera housing but otherwise similar functionality to the Gen 2 model. Features like Conversation Focus and Muse AI integration are not yet available on these frames, and the built-in AI assistant still struggles to answer basic questions about the glasses themselves.
A new app called ZuckOff scans nearby Bluetooth signals to alert users when smart camera glasses like Ray-Ban Meta, Oakley Meta, or Snap Spectacles are in the vicinity. The app processes everything locally on the phone, requires no account, and lets users log all detected devices, mark their own glasses to silence alerts, and export scan history as CSV. It also sells branded merchandise through Fourthwall to help fund development.
