At Connect 2026, Meta unveiled its vision for an era where artificial intelligence is woven into daily life through a new generation of wearable devices. Central to this is Muse, the company's personal AI agent, which is now coming to smart glasses to enable hands-free interaction throughout the day.
Muse: Personal Superintelligence on the Go
Muse is evolving beyond a simple voice assistant; it can now "see" what the wearer sees. Through smart glasses, it can identify products on shelves, process school supply lists, or analyze flyers. Meta announced expanded connectors with partners like Walmart, Best Buy, and Expedia, allowing Muse to handle shopping and travel planning directly.
- Connectivity: Integration with Notion, GitHub, Box, and Instacart.
- Autonomous Communication: Muse will receive its own email address to complete tasks independently.
- Muse Charm: A new pocket-sized device dedicated to real-time voice interaction with the AI.
Meta VR Glasses: The 100-Gram Breakthrough
The most significant hardware reveal was the Meta VR Glasses. Weighing only 100 grams—roughly the weight of a deck of cards—the device offers immersive experiences without the bulk of traditional headsets. It is the first IMAX Enhanced certified VR device, bringing a personal cinema experience to users through partnerships with Disney+, Prime Video, and YouTube.
Accessibility and Style Expansion
Meta is expanding its lineup to over 100 AI glasses styles by year-end, featuring collaborations with Kylie Jenner and international icon LISA. A major health-tech addition is the Hearing Enhancement software. This FDA-cleared feature for adults with mild to moderate hearing loss will launch in the US for $149.99, offering a clinic-free setup via supported smart glasses.
