Samsung and Meta are looking into earbuds with cameras, following Apple’s AirPods’ lead

  • Not for taking photos or video: it’s an extra input for AI
  • Meta is reportedly unhappy with progress so far

Apple isn’t the only firm considering sticking cameras into your earbuds, although it’s probably closer than most: as we reported last year, Apple has been experimenting with IR cameras in AirPods, and is apparently planning to use them to help inform AI and deliver the audio equivalent of smart glasses.

A new report says that Apple isn’t the only firm wanting to be an eye-in-ear pioneer. Meta and Samsung are apparently looking into people’s ears too, but the path to in-ear cameras has proved to be a little tricky.

Ear we go, ear we go, ear we go
