  "summary": "Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently unveiled new products at the Meta Connect event. The company announced three new glasses: Meta Ray-Ban Gen 3, Meta VR Glasses, and Meta Audio Glasses, as well as an update on the Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses announced last year. According to Mashable, Zuckerberg presented smart glasses as the future of personal computing, noting that 2 billion people already wear glasses and that they will win out over other types of AI wearables.\n\nZuckerberg also introduced new styles for Meta's glasses and a collaboration with Blackpink's Lisa, with over 100 different styles of Meta smart glasses soon to be available to customers. The third generation of Meta's signature smart glasses, Ray-Ban Meta Gen 3, offers key upgrades and design changes, including six microphones.\n\nThere has been a growing privacy backlash against smart glasses, with concerns over covert recording. According to Tom's Guide, Qualcomm's SVP and GM of XR, Ziad Asghar, defended the smart glasses category, suggesting that public anxiety over face-mounted cameras is a \"generational growing pain\". Asghar noted that people are used to carrying devices with multiple cameras, such as phones.",
