  "account": "Meta might be planning to release a new generation of smart glasses that do away with cameras, according to a report from The Information. The glasses, internally referred to as \"Luna,\" could place a greater emphasis on audio and artificial intelligence capabilities, rather than visual recording. The glasses are said to feature six microphones, which would allow users to interact with Meta AI and another AI tool called Muse. Additionally, the glasses are rumored to include a side button for quick access to Meta AI. The design of the glasses is expected to closely resemble current models, making them nearly indistinguishable from regular sunglasses. This shift in focus could be an attempt to address privacy concerns that have surrounded Meta's previous smart glasses, which have been criticized for making it easy to capture unwanted video footage. If the new glasses do make an appearance at the upcoming Meta Connect conference, they could offer an alternative for users who wish to leverage AI features without compromising their privacy.",
